The Demonstrans leave Suvarnabhum
The PAD officially ended its anti-government protests at 10am Wednesday while many supporters were starting to pack up and leave both airports. The group previously arranged activities to celebrate the Constitution Court’s verdict to dissolve the People Power party (PPP) together with its two coalition partners, Chart Thai and Matchimathipataya, for election fraud. Airports of Thailand (AOT) acting director Serirat Prasutanond on Wednesday led media and security members to inspect the terminals of Suvarnabhumi to determine when the airport can fully resume its operation.

granade was explosion, 50 injured
A grenade was launched into the Government House compound minutes late Saturday night, injuring 50 people. The explosion occurred at 11:50 pm Saturday when the protesters were preparing to rest and leaders of the People's Alliance for the Democracy were about to stop the activities on the stage. The bomb fell on the roof of a tent on the left side of the stage and fell onto the ground and exploded.
Kittichai Saisa-ard, chief of PAD guards, said 47 protesters were sent to the Ramathibodi Hospital, and four of them were severely injured. He said two other protesters were sent to Phra Mongkut Hospital and another to Vajira Hospital. The bomb, believed by the PAD to be an M79 grenade, exploded just 200 metres away from the PAD's main stage inside the Government House. It was fired outside the rally ground from a similar direction of the recent attack at the site.
Suriyasai Katasila said guards saw a flash from the direction of the Benjamabophit Hospital so it was believed the grenade was launched from the direction.
PAD guards checked and concluded that the assailant fired the grenade from a building inside the Rajamangala Technology University. Most of the injured were hit by shrapnel at their face and eyes. Most are women.
Four of the injured remained in the intensive care unit. They were identified as Kanchana Muennoo, 27, Jitra Jintanatham, 57, Suphana, surname unknown and Pienjai, surname unknown. The four are women. Kanchana's left lung was torn by the bomb shrapnel and doctors had to resuscitate her. A 60-year-old woman from Kanchanaburi recounted that she was sleeping and woken up with the explosion.
