Hill tribes, Spider-Man and elephants, Thailand votes

FROM Hmong hill people voting in the shadow of mist-cloaked jungle mountains to Spider-Man cosplayers on Bangkok’s scorching streets, millions turned out to cast their ballots in Thailand’s election today.

Voters are tipped to deliver a resounding defeat to incumbent Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-Cha after a campaign that has played out as a clash between a reformist young generation and the conservative, military-backed establishment.
