The people of Thailand will go to the polls today in the country's snap general election.

Tensions are running high, as clashes between pro and anti government demonstrators continued on the streets yesterday.

The election was called by the current Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, in a bid to allay political unrest.

However, the anti government protestors want the election delayed for at least a year, so that an unelected "peoples council" can reform the political system.

They're now vowing to block the election, in a bid to stop Shinawatra from winning a seat again.

10 people have died since the opposition demonstrations began late last year.
