BANGKOK - The Thai army said Sunday that it would not impose a curfew in parts of Bangkok yet because it was no longer necessary and would be an inconvenience.
"It is not yet necessary to impose the curfew even though it would help the authorities to differentiate people from terrorists," said Lieutenant General Aksara Kerdphol, speaking at the government unit overseeing the response to the crisis.
"But it would affect ordinary people, so the centre would like to inform people that it will not impose the curfew at this time."
Earlier in the day an army spokesman had announced the authorities would impose a curfew in parts of the capital to cope with violent civil unrest, but said the details were still being decided.
