By 2.15 pm, half an hour after the surrender of the red-shirt leaders on Wednesday, a number of red shirts have continued to riot.

Some red shirts were seen trying to torch Central World shopping mall to express their anger for ending of the Rajprasong rally.

The reds camping out at Klong Toei remain sceptical that their leaders really turned themselves to police. They vowed to continue protesting.

The reds at Samyan continue to wreak havocs by burning tyres and blocking traffic near the Pheu Thai Party on Rama IV Road.

The red shirts were not satisfied with their leaders' decision to surrender and end their rally. They set fire on various spots around the rally site, according to television reports.

While a number of their leaders surrendered to the Royal Thai Police Office, noises of explosions were heard many times near the main rally stage.

Billows of smoke were seen blowing out from in front of the Central World department store.

Some of the protesters smashed glass panes around the department stores while others threw fire bombs into the first floor of the building.

At the Sala Daeng intersection, the protesters destroyed telephone booths, advertisement signs, traffic signs, and others.
