"The flights are cancelled. That's all we know. The passengers don't know what's going on. We're the airline and even we don't know what's going on," one attendant at the Thai Airways check-in desk said.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Thousands of frustrated travelers were stranded in Thailand on Wednesday after protesters shut down the main airport in a major escalation of their four-month campaign to oust the prime minister.

With no resolution in sight, hundreds of passengers were ushered down stairs and escalators to waiting buses for transportation to area hotels. Others sprawled across suitcases, luggage carts and even security conveyor belts in largely unsuccessful attempts to sleep.
