Thailand will consult with other Asean countries before deciding the next move following Burma's court sentenced democracy idol Aung San Suu Kyi to additional 18 months under house arrest.

Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said "We are well aware that the trial was done in line with Burma's legal process. However the case has drawn attention from the world communities," he said.

The ministry will wait for full verdict of the trial from the Thai embassy in Rangoon which will take about one or two days.

Suu Kyi, 64, was found guilty of breaking the terms of her detention by allowing a US national to swim into her lakeside compound-cum-prison on May 3.
