Will the red shirts take Bangkok Airport this weekend?
The Yellow Shirts takeover of the airport was a total surprise for many since the Government was topple by a cooking class on TV a few days later. The Red Shirts have the last month told the Thai government that they might want to go after the airport but I do not think they would be able to.
The Yellow Shirts had support from the old guard in Thailand and that’s why the military did not move in when if they could and should. This Thai government has not the same problem and can mobilize almost all Army and Police to stop the Red Shirts before reaching the airport of Bangkok.
But if your flight is this weekend you should make sure you go in time and keep watching the news for anything that might suggest they are going to the airport.
