Gambari met with Nitya Pibulsonggram, Thai Foreign Minister and was to set to meet Surayud Chulanont, Thai Prime Minister later in the day. Ahead of Gambari's arrival in Bangkok, Myanmar's military rulers partially eased restrictions imposed after massive protests last month, restoring Internet access over the weekend but foreign news sites were kept blocked. The junta cut Internet access on September 28, two days after Myanmar troops opened fire on peaceful protesters and images of the crackdown were plastered on web sites. Gambari will travel next to Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, India and China before returning to Myanmar. India and China are two of the Myanmar junta's biggest allies. Earlier this month Gambari met with Myanmar junta leader General Than Shwe during a four-day visit, urging the government to end its crackdown on protesters. He also met twice with detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. His negotiating efforts, however, have failed so far to bring about a dialogue between the government and the democratic opposition.
