The Thai government says it has quelled most of the violence stemming from 10 weeks of protests in the capital. But on Thursday, some buildings were still on fire in Bangkok, with pockets of violence, shootings and arson occurring throughout the day, as residents attempted to return to normal life.

The capital of Thailand is still littered with reminders of chaos and violence.

While the government has regained control of Bangkok's commercial district, other parts of the sprawling city remain unstable.

Anti-government protesters set a bank on fire, prompting a quick response from the police. At least three suspects were arrested.

Troops and anti-government protesters also exchanged sporadic fire in parts of the city.

Local residents are frustrated at what is happening to their country.

Somjit Suksumrain, Local Resident, said, "This really worries me. This shouldn't happen to Thailand. Thailand should not have ended up like this."

Three more anti-government protest leaders surrendered to police on Thursday at Bangkok's Police Headquarters.

With the situation remaining tense and uncertain, Thai authorities extended a night time curfew in Bangkok and 23 other provinces for three more days.

Panitan Wattanayagorn, Thai Government Spokesman, said, "Additional curfew is also announced now we have move the curfew to 9pm and to 5am in the next three days."

Since the Red Shirts began their protest in mid-March, at least 83 people have been killed and nearly 1,800 wounded.
