Thailand on Sunday extended a curfew in Bangkok and 23 provinces for two more nights for “security reasons”, emergency authorities said.
“The CRES has extended the curfew for two more nights from tonight in Bangkok and 23 provinces from 11pm to 4am for security reasons,” an official from the Center for Resolution of Emergency Situation said.
Four nights of curfew have been enforced after a rampage of arson and looting broke out in the capital in the wake of a crackdown on anti-government protests.
The new curfew hours were shorter than previously. The measures had been in force between 9:00 pm and 5:00 am for the past three days.
