BANGKOK, THAILAND - JANUARY 10: A pro-election activist uses a smartphone to video a city centre rally on January 10, 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. Over a thousand pro-election activists gathered in Bangkok's shopping district to show support for Thailand's upcoming snap-poll on February 2 and also voice opposition to a planned shutdown of Bangkok by anti-government groups. In Thailand's latest round of political turmoil, which has lasted over two months, anti-government groups have announced they will shutdown Bangkok early next week in an attempt to pressure the government to resign and derail the February election.
