Things have been relatively calm politically until very recently. Late last week, a grenade was detonated in the offices of Royal Thai Army Commander-in-Chief Gen Anupong Paojinda. Fortunately the grenade went off at night when no-one was in the office. Army specialist Maj-Gen Khattiya Sawasdipol was recently arrested, and three others close to him are being questions. There is also speculation that Maj-Gen Khattiya Sawasdipol, nicknamed Seh Daeng (red shirt) for his open support of the UDD and the red shirt cause, may have had some involvement with the attack.
Apparently the red shirts are eying the airports as a protest location. You may remember that in December 2008, the yellow shirts shut down international air travel into and out of Thailand with their airport protests. The government has stated that it will use the anti-terrorism laws against any red shirt protesters that attempt to protest at the airport. I hope that the red shirts get the message and leave the airport alone. Thailand certainly doesn't need to do anything else to make it less attractive to tourists and businesses.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
