Anti-government protesters have begun leaving Bangkok's main airports after an eight-day siege that paralysed government and stymied tourism.

They packed up bedding and began leaving the international and domestic airports as cleaners moved in.

The People's Alliance for Democracy called off the protests and after a court banned Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat from politics.

The protests have left thousands of tourists stranded in Thailand.

The country has lost millions of dollars in revenue.
