Hmong people from the village of Baan Nam Sum in Chiang Mai’s Hang Dong province queued up from early in the morning to cast their vote.
Baan Nam Sum is Chiang Mai’s Constituency 2.
Some of the voters had to provide their fingerprints instead of their ID cards to register to vote.
Voters who cannot read or write Thai were helped at the polling station by officials who are fluent in the Hmong language.
