Thai court bans PM, flights to resume



Thai anti-government activists Tuesday agreed to end protests that have paralysed Bangkok's airports, after a court stripped Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat of his post and outlawed the ruling party.


Thailand's Constitutional Court has dissolved the main ruling party and banned Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat from politics for five years over a case of voting fraud. The decision came hours after a grenade blast killed one PAD protester and wounded 22 others at Don Mueang.


The crippling airport blockade left 350,000 passengers stranded in the self-styled "Land of Smiles" and caused massive economic losses to the tourism-dependent kingdom.

Some 7,000 government supporters wearing red shirts continued to rally at Bangkok's metropolitan administration on Tuesday evening, according to police, in protest at the court's decision and the PAD's actions.

King Bhumibol Adulyadej, meanwhile, defied speculation that he might weigh into the crisis, making no mention of politics in a short speech at the annual Trooping the Colour military parade ahead of his birthday on Friday.

Hours earlier, the PAD and airport authorities said they had reached an agreement to resume flights from Suvarnabhumi international airport, although there was no mention of the blockade at the Don Mueang domestic airport.

"As of this moment the PAD has allowed flights to take off and land immediately, both passenger and cargo flights," senior PAD member Somkiat Pongpaiboon told reporters at the airport.

"We have won a victory and achieved our aims," media mogul and PAD founder Sondhi Limthongkul said, reading a statement to reporters. "All protests will stop as of December 3 at 10:00 am (0300 GMT)."

But he warned that the movement would "take to streets if people from the Thaksin regime return."

"Wife's hurt, but I still pity my mistress"

MISTRESS DISFIGURES HIS WIFE WITH HOT OIL, BUT HUSBAND SAYS: "My heart still goes out to my mistress" This headline on The New Paper caught my eye yesterday and after reading the article, i felt so damn pissed off about that husband (who dont even fit to be one)! Here's the shorter version: His wife, Madam Chan Hoong Choo, 41, is badly scalded by the hot oil poured on her by his mistress, but Mr Soo Kiong Sing, 46, says he is still caught between the two women and pities his mistress. On Tuesday, the mistress, Goh Gek Hwee, 36, was jailed 3.5 years and fined $4,500 for the attack on the morning of 18 Apr. At about 8.30am, she forced her way into the Soos' flat and tied both Madam Chan Hoong Choo (Mr Soo's wife) and his 16-year-old daughter up. Goh then heated some oil in a frying pan and poured the hot oil over Madam Chan's head and slowly down her body, then onto her legs. A district court heard that Madam Chan Hoong Choo suffered burns to her face, scalp, t...
