Anti-government protest in Thailand enters second day

Bangkok: Thai protesters surrounded the government's temporary headquarters on Tuesday in a bid to unseat the elected administration.

The marchers, who blockaded parliament on Monday and forced it to postpone an important legislative session, converged on Bangkok's old Don Muang airport.

Protesters occupied VIP rooms used by government ministers, but domestic flights were operating as usual from Don Muang.

One union chief said protesters might picket Suvarnabhumi airport early on Wednesday, when Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat is expected to return from a summit in Peru.
