At least 100,000 foreign visitors have been unable to leave the country since the anti-government activists occupied the international airport last week.
Meanwhile, protesters are vacating a central government complex after an occupation of more than three months.
The protest has struck a large blow to Thailand's economy, say correspondents.
Tourism is a major source of revenue for the country, and the crisis will also have knock-on effects for Thailand's neighbours, because Bangkok is a major international hub, they say.
Thailand's deputy premier for economic affairs is reported to be meeting senior figures in commerce, industry and tourism on Monday to discuss the damage being done by the protest siege.
