The Thai government has extended a state of emergency in 19 provinces, including the capital Bangkok, because of fears of renewed violence.
The emergency decree was revoked in five other provinces, after a three-month deadline expired.
The law was imposed during mass anti-government protests earlier this year in which 90 people were killed.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told the BBC on Monday that there would be a gradual lifting of emergency law.
