Bangkok: Opposition leaders have moved to impeach Thailand's Prime Minister for his handling of rioting and violence in Bangkok, and an army official says the capital will remain under curfew for another week as a precaution against further unrest.
With traffic once again choking the Bangkok streets, the stock exchange, schools and many offices opened on Monday for the first time after a week of government-ordered holidays.
Still, authorities in charge of the government's crisis response center say that they are extending a late-night curfew on the capital, which remains under a state of emergency, and other volatile areas for another week or so.
Army spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd says, "The purpose of the curfew is to separate the terrorists from the public."
