Bangkok curfew to remain for now
Offices, schools and businesses have reopened in Bangkok, days after a violent end to weeks of protest.
Residents within what was the "red-shirt" protest zone are continuing to clean up, as services return to normal.
But the military said it would recommend a curfew remain in force in Bangkok and 23 provinces for another week.
Nine weeks of protests that left more than 80 people dead ended when troops stormed the protest area last week.
"There are still some movements to incite unrest. The curfew will facilitate the authorities’ work," army spokesman Colonel Sunsern Kaewkumnerd told the BBC.
Luzi Matzig, CEO of Asian Trails, said, "Skytrain and the subway are back in operation and sightseeing tours are again being conducted according to established itineraries.
"The only thing missing now is tourists. May we ask for your kind support in spreading the word that Bangkok is safe to visit, travel advisories are being normalised and Thailand is welcoming all foreign visitors with open arms."
Not everyone is convinced. Australia’s latest government-sanctioned Smartraveller advice continues to warn Australians not to travel to Bangkok (excluding Suvarnabhumi International Airport) due to the “ongoing risk of sporadic violence” and to avoid the Rachaprasong area in the centre of the city.
