In pictures: Thailand rally

Tens of thousands of people massed in Bangkok at a rally in support of Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

People travelled to the capital from all over the country to show their support for his government.

The rally marked the launch of the prime minister's re-election campaign, ahead of a snap election he has called in April.

His supporters still love him - but the prime minister faces calls to resign over allegations of corruption, and an opposition boycott of the poll.

Mr Thaksin says he will resign if his party does not win more than half of the votes.
