Although Bangkok’s emergency decree was lifted yesterday, soldiers will remain in their handsome street bunkers for now.
Although the government would like to see the military presence removed, the army has decided to maintain the deployment in the capital to insure safety, according to army spokesman Col. Winthai Suvari.
The continued need for security will be assessed on an ongoing basis, The Nation reported.
For now, nightly violence persists near Lumpini Park, the last encampment of anti-government demonstrators.
