Protesters seeking to oust Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra vowed to incite more unrest this week after clashes left three dead in Bangkok at the weekend and the central bank warned the standoff was hurting the economy.

Demonstrators removed barriers surrounding Government House and the prime minister’s office, and tear gas was fired to repel them, said Piya Utayo, a police spokesman. The activists, who are seeking to paralyze the administration, massed outside the police headquarters, Piya said. The army chief offered to broker talks, according to an army spokesman.
