Bangkok, Thailand: December 3, 2008 – IR Summary/NYT -The Thailand’s international Airport, which the protesters had blocked for a week stranding stranded tens of thousands of foreign travelers, has been thrown open today; a Thai Airways Boeing 747-400 has landed at the airport around 2 p.m. for the first time after the disturbance.

 The passengers are, however, routed to pass through the small facility meant for the crew and not the main terminal,  being in the process of cleanliness. 

 
The court ruling came to the rescue of the demand of the protesters and barred senior members of the People Power Party from politics for five years and the protesters felt incited and satisfied. They declared a call off from Bangkok’s two civilian airports and made the passage clear for the air travelers.

As per New York Times, the leaders of the People Power Party said openly that they would reconstitute the government under another party name, the Party for Thais and would call a session of Parliament on Monday to select a new prime minister.
The party’s claim on parliamentary votes was not assured, however, and the antigovernment forces celebrated the ruling.

The demonstrators, largely drawn from the elite and middle-class establishment, have been protesting for three years against leadership that they said remained loyal to Thaksin Shinawatra, the prime minister ousted in a coup in September 2006.
