Soldiers search Tak home of Democrat deputy leader

Nothing illegal was found in the raid led by Col Nattapol Ruantib, chief of staff for the 14th Infantry Regiment based in Mae Sot, and no arrests were made.
While the situation remained calm, news reporters and passers-by were barred from taking photographs. Soldiers were seen guarding the front of the house while others searched additional buildings in the compound.
Chaiwut is a former Tak member of Parliament and former industry minister.
His brother, Wisut Bannawat, a former Tak provincial councillor, was seen speaking amicably to the troops. 
Other residents of the compound appeared to offer no complaint or resistance.
Nattapol told them he was “carrying out an order from his boss”.
