Polls have been closed in Thailand's general election with pro-democracy opposition parties predicted to defeat the conservative government of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha.
STORY: About 52 million eligible voters are choosing among progressive opposition parties - one with a knack for winning elections - and others allied with royalist generals keen to preserve the status quo after nine years of government led or backed by the army. The Election Commission projects turnout of over 80%, with polls to close at 5 p.m. (1000 GMT) and unofficial results expected around 10 p.m. (1500 GMT), said Chairman Ittiporn Boonpracong. | 06:54am
