By the afternoon of polling day, Jul 3, 2011, it was already evident that the Pheu Thai (PT) party had won by a landslide. At 7.45pm the party leader, Yingluck Shinawatra, appeared before the press to claim victory.

Despite all the fears about riots and coups in the wake of the result, an eerie quiet descended on the capital - a portent, perhaps, of a calmer and more stable future for South-East Asia's second-largest economy.
