PAD announced an end to all its protests including the Government House and Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi International airports in Bangkok.

Cargo planes resumed their services from Suvarnabhumi Airport since 9am today.

PAD's co-leaders said the decision to terminate the protests was made because they gained victory after the Constitution Court dissolved People Power Party, Matchima Tipatayai and Chart Thai parties.

The leaders took turns to declare victories on a stage at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

"All people can go home now. We are the victors now. However we will be ready to come back if the country wants us to," they told the cheering crowds.
