A charter plane carrying about 300 stranded Australians has arrived in Sydney from Thailand.

The 300 holiday makers had been stranded in Phuket since Friday due to political demonstrations forcing the closure of the airport.

Jetstar had to send a special plane to Phuket to pick them up.

Flights in and out of Phuket have since resumed.
