MANILA, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Manila's Philippine Airlines <PAL.PS> cancelled its morning flight to Bangkok on Wednesday due to political unrest in the Thai capital, an airline spokesman said.

Spokesman Rolando Estabillo said another flight later in the day also might be cancelled if security concerns persisted at Bangkok's international airport, where anti-government protesters occupied the terminal and later stormed the control tower. (Reporting by Manny Mogato)
