Courts have slapped 511 people with a suspended jail term and a fine of Bt2,000 each for violating the curfew between May 20 and May 24. The two-month jail sentence will be suspended for a year.
Metropolitan Police Bureau spokesman Maj-General Piya Utayo announced the figures yesterday.
From Sunday 11pm and 4am yesterday, 36 more people were arrested in Bangkok for flouting the curfew without sound reason.
"They too will be prosecuted," Piya said.
Since last Wednesday, the Centre for Resolution of the Emergency Situation imposed a curfew in Bangkok and several other provinces barring people from travelling during the night. These measures were taken to curtail the unrest.
As soon as red-shirt leaders announced the end of the rally at Rajprasong intersection last Wednesday, up to 36 buildings in the capital and several city halls in the provinces were set ablaze.
This was in addition to fierce gunfights between unidentified, armed men and security officials.
In Ayutthaya, 14 curfew violators have already been given a month's sentence, suspended for a year, and fined Bt1,000 each.
Pol Colonel Paiboon Charoenpanich, deputy chief of Ayutthaya police, said 40 people were arrested on Sunday night and early yesterday.
"They too will be sent to court," he said.
