CLEAN: Thai capital to get back to business after clean-up

Thailand's prime minister said that Bangkok would get back to business on Monday after a massive clean-up, and defended a crackdown on protest rallies that unleashed a rampage of arson and looting. A massive clean-up was organised on Sunday to remove tonnes of debris and rubbish after Wednesday's offensive on a protest encampment that had paralysed the shopping district for six weeks. Hordes of workers and volunteers, including foreigners, scraped away political graffiti and posters, wielded power hoses and poured foaming detergent to scrub the streets clean.
