Thailand elections: how to follow the news online

On Sunday, Thais will vote in a national election for the first time since 2007. Here are some resources for following the events online.

Twitter

• I maintain a list of Bangkok journalists and media-types on Twitter. It’s currently at 47 feeds.
• I also maintain a general Thailand Twitter list. It’s got 285 accounts.
• I’ll be Tweeting, of course: @newley.
• The hashtag for the vote appears to be #ThaiElection.

Local media

Thailand’s two most prominent English language newspapers will be providing coverage, naturally:

• The Bangkok Post
• The Nation

Thailand-focused blogs

Some good resources include:

• 2Bangkok
• The Thai Report
• Bangkok Pundit

Background info

• There’s a Wikipedia page for the elections.
• The Asia Foundation has a Thailand Election Primer

Google News

• And of course, a Google News search for “Thailand election” will return plenty of material.

Update: July 2, 2011 — corrected link to Asia Foundation’s primer.
