Election Day in Bangkok
22 images Created 2 Feb 2014
Thais voted in the "snap election" Sunday. The election was called in December when the Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved parliament in the face of massive protests against her government.
Voting went smoothly in most parts of the country but in many parts of Bangkok and in the southern provinces, home base of the Thai opposition, voting was disrupted by anti-government protestors who said the election was a sham. They blockaded polling places and prevented the distribution of ballots.
There will be another round of voting in a week in areas that weren't able to vote Sunday.
