Thai voters have rejected the military-backed government as two opposition parties appear to be set for coalition talks.

Initial results show the Move Forward and Pheu Thai parties surging ahead of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha, with the election being described as a turning point for Thailand which has experienced military coups in recent years.

Prayuth led the last coup in 2014 and sought another term in office but he has faced strong election challenges from Move Forward and Pheu Thai which are two anti-military parties.

Move Forward is led by former tech executive Pita Lim/Ja/Roen/Rat, while Pae/Tong/Tarn Shinawatra the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is the Pheu Thai candidate.
