I was in country when the protests were on. It was dangerous but confined to a few general areas.

There will always be an element of instability in Thailand. Elections are due next month in July and things could very well get messy depending how everything plays out.

I would also be weary about a certain somebody in Thailand. When "elvis" leaves the building the shit will hit the fan 100%. This will be sooner than later it seems.

Be concerned but do not be deterred. Thailand is an amazing country and you will enjoy it.
