The emergency decree still in force in Bangkok and adjacent provinces could be lifted before January because the overall siutation has improved, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Thursday.
However all security agencies would have reassess the situation before a final decision was made to lift the decree.
The emergency decree was initially imposed in 24 provinces after the red-shirts of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) began to hold protest rallies. It has been gradually lifted and is now still in place only in Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan.
