Away from the demonstration hot spots BKK is same as usual. This will play out over the next few days and I wouldn't worry . The King has made it clear he does not want violence on the streets and Samak therefore has one hand tied. The army are trying to keep out of it and will only get involved if there is a threat to the monarchy. This is politics Thai style and with tourism crucial to the Thai economy the PAD are targeting secondary airports because of their frustration after 4 days of protests being basically at stalemate as Samak refuses to either eject them or negotiate with them. I dont think any-one knows where this will end, but give it a few more days.
