Bangkok calm a day after clashes

---

Troops continue to maintain a presence on the streets of Bangkok, a day after anti-government protests ended, reports BBC.
The streets are calm, with many residents enjoying Buddhist New Year celebrations rather than thinking about the country's turbulent politics.
The Thai finance minister says that he may have to expand an economic stimulus plan in light of the turmoil.
Police are still hunting for 10 people involved in the protests. Three people are already in custody.
Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra - the man at the centre of the demonstrations - has also had an arrest warrant issued against him, although he currently lives outside Thailand.
The government has also revoked Mr Thaksin's passport, a spokesman said Wednesday.
For the time being, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva appears to have got the upper hand after quashing the protests by the red-shirted supporters of Mr Thaksin.
But few analysts think this is the end of the demonstrations, especially as the group managed to mobilise 100,000 protesters in recent weeks, and even force the cancellation of a regional summit. A protester holds a sign praising former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra. The protesters support Mr Thaksin, whose arrest is now being sought.
