Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said here on Saturday that the Australian diplomats were working hard to support Australians stranded in Thailand as demonstrators blockade Bangkok's main international airport.
He told reporters the Australian government, in cooperation with airlines, had started "a lot of work" to get Australians out of Thailand.
But he said the task was difficult because of the blockages at both airports.
"There is a massive consular effort currently underway by the Australian government to support a very large number of Australians left stranded by these events," he added.
Supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy have also blocked access to another airport at the smaller domestic hub of Don Mueang in Bangkok.
