Who is Srettha Thavisin, Thailand's next prime minister?

BANGKOK -- Srettha Thavisin was elected Thailand's 30th prime minister on Tuesday, capping a monthslong road to power for the former property tycoon who was not warmly received by either his party's most ardent supporters -- or the conservative establishment that he relied on to put him in office. 

As the country's first prime minister in nearly a decade without a military background, the 61-year-old will be positioning himself as Thailand's salesman-in-chief.
