20 MAY 2010 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A large Buddha head was undamaged in a fire that destroyed the Central World shopping mall in the Ratchaprasong Intersection in Bangkok Thursday. Firefighers are still working to extinguish the blaze. The day after a military crackdown killed at least six people, Thai authorities continued mopping up operations around the site of the Red Shirt rally stage and battle fires set by Red Shirt supporters in the luxury malls around the intersection. Anti government forces set fire to the mall and several other locations across Bangkok after their leaders surrendered to police. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
