A group of protesting cab drivers who gathered at Suvarnabhumi airport at 12:20am this morning to protest so-called "black licence taxis" agreed to disperse after negotiations with the police.
Scores of taxi drivers gathered outside the departures terminal shouting "Get out!", referring to the unlicensed taxis they say have been stealing their fares from the new airport.
At 12:40am, a police officer arrived to talk to representatives of the protesters, vowing to bring the matter to the attention of the Airports of Thailand. He also promised that the police will not take legal action against the protesters.
After the group was asked to select five representatives to meet with the police officer again on Friday, the group agreed at 1am to call off their protest.
