Unknown number of policemen equipped with M-16 assault rifles on Friday evening were deployed to Bangkok Suvarnahbhumi International Airport which was seized by the anti-government People's Alliance for Democracy.
Outside the Don Muang airport, armored military vehicles were also deployed.
The PAD stages at both the airports are distributing medical equipment and tear gas masks.
Minutes before, the Metropolitan Police Bureau issued its first emergency statement, asking protesters to leave the Don Mueang Airport immediately.
Meanwhile, Sondhi Limthongkul, core leader of the PAD, told protesters the PAD would never give in and negotiate with the police to move protesters out of the Suvarnabhumi International Airport and the Don Mueang Airport.
"PAD leaders will never negotiate with the police," Sondhi told the crowd at the government House.
