Victorious anti-government protesters lifted their siege of Bangkok`s two airports on Wednesday while the ousted government`s leaders met to decide on a caretaker prime minister to lead the politically chaotic kingdom.
The country`s immediate crisis, which virtually severed Thailand`s air links to the outside world for a week, appeared to be over and the People`s Alliance for Democracy said it was ending six months of daily anti-government protests. But the alliance warned it would be on the streets again if a new government tried to return to its past policies.
