There is still a possibility for armed elements to conduct underground activities and sabotage in Bangkok and some other provinces, acting government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn said on Tuesday.
Mr Panitan said that, for Bangkok and nearby provinces, the Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation had prepared rapid deployment units which could be dispatched to various locations on receiving reports on suspicious movements.
He said the CRES would assess the situation on a daily basis and would consider lifting the curfew in provinces where the situation was under control.
The spokesman said that by May 30 foreign diplomats in Thailand would be invited by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to Government House to attend a briefing on the government's operation to end the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD)'s rallies to ascertain them that it was carried out in line with international practice.
The diplomats would be informed of the government's remedial measures and plan to rehabilitate the country as well as the court's approval of a warrant for the arrest of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra on terrorism charges.
On that occasion, the prime minister would give a special interview to foreign news media, Mr Panitan said.
The spokesman said the arrest warrant for Thaksin would enable the Foreign Ministry, Office of the Attorney General, and Royal Thai Police Office to coordinate with other countries to seek an extradition of the convicted former prime minister.
"The prime minister has called all along for Thaksin to return to Thailand to prove his innocence instead of going on the run," Mr Panitan said.
