The curfew in Bangkok has been extended by a further three nights as Thai troops attempt to storm the anti-government protesters' camp and weed out the ringleaders.
The unrest has severely hit Thailand's tourism industry. Passengers at the main Bangkok airport have been halved to 60,000-70,000 daily and flights have been cut to 600 from 750 a day, according to the state Thai News agency.
However the army insisted the violence was now under control following yesterday's outburst which claimed a further 14 lives.
The Red Shirts torched more than 17 buildings including the stock exchange, a TV station and Central World department store, one of the largest in Asia.
The government imposed a strict night-time curfew for the city and imposed controls on television station broadcasts.
