Voters in Thailand were heading to polling stations across the country on Sunday to elect a new parliament. The vote is seen as a three-way race between the reformist People's Party, the conservative Bhumjaithai Party of incumbent Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, and Pheu Thai, the party backed by the waning but still influential Shinawatra family. Analysts predict a close race that is unlikely to yield an outright winner, with difficult coalition negotiations expected to follow the election.

Tensions on the Thailand-Cambodia border continue despite a ceasefire and ongoing talks between officials from both countries, highlighting a fragile peace situation.
