 But this year the walls of placards that block views and create hazards are remarkably few.

By law, local administrations can direct where candidates are allowed to put up their posters and campaign materials.

For Bangkok, the metropolitan administration has been quite firm on placard placement. Candidates can display their pictures in most public places except for the following:

Median strips and traffic islands, flyovers, pedestrian bridges, bridges, traffic fences besides roads, traffic signs and signals, government announcements, walls of government buildings, trees and light poles on traffic islands, bus stops, public telephone booths, public toilets, Sanam Luang, public parks, public recreation areas and roundabouts.

The Royal Plaza, Rajdamnoen Avenue and roads surrounding the Grand Palace and Chitralada Palace are also strictly off limits.
