Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha cast his vote at the 12th polling booth in Soi Pradipat 5 at 9:10 am Sunday.
After casting his vote, Prayut encouraged Thai people to go voting.
"I would like people to come out and vote. This is our country's future that everyone takes part in," Prayut said.
"Please go vote and make a history record of this so Thailand can achieve standard of democracy and don't worry about the rain. If it rains hard, we should go to vote even harder," he said.
Prayut was secured by security guards but without presence of his family members who share the same constituency with him. An elderly woman was also heard shouting, "Keep fighting PM! Please carry on for our country!" while Prayut cast his vote.
