Thais go to the polls on July 3 to elect a new national government. Some hope the election will start Thailand's healing process after nearly five years of political division and violence.

Last year nearly 100 people were killed in Bangkok when the Thai Army attacked "Red Shirt" protestors, supporters of deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, camped in Bangkok's commercial district.

This year Thaksin's sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, has taken the mantle of leadership in Pheua Thai, the Red Shirts' political party. She has a large lead over Thailand's incumbent Prime Minister and the Democrat Party.

The Yellow Shirts, the Red's bitter opponents held a rally in Bangkok to encourage people to vote "no" and nullify the Reds' likely win.
