People across Thailand cast their vote in an election that's expected to deliver big gains for opposition forces and test the resolve of a pro-military establishment
Voting closed at 5 p.m. local time , with the Election Commission earlier projecting a turnout of 80% among the 52 million eligible voters.
Opinion polls have indicated the opposition Pheu Thai and Move Forward parties will gain the most seats but with no guarantee either will govern because of parliamentary rules written by the military after its 2014 coup and"I want the election result to come out as I hope for, because I want the country to move forward without fighting between generations," said Bangkok business-owner Onesuwat Chakrabundhu, 62, declining to say which party he chose.
