.........said the powerful explosive was found in Sukhumvit 81, one of the capital's busiest roads.

Just how powerful an explosive is it ???? Similar to last weeks bomb or more powerful ???

A few weeks back a 20 yo Chinese student was found dead on a beach in Pattaya...was her COD ever established???

^^ Whilst these comments may be true, they are entirely irrelevant to this news story. The Thai government is offering foreign embassies the option of repatriating their own citizens who have broken the Law in Thailand. When they get back to South Africa, it is not implied they will walk free.

But they most probably will..........

5 million passengers in and out of Thailand from mainland China.......sounds like a lot of fun carrying out all those background checks.

Prior to moving to Thailand I lived and worked in Shanghai for 9 years. The criminal background report required by the Thai authorities

took just on a month to get from the Chinese authorities......as said, this going to be a lot of fun.

And the passenger must pay.....??? Coming in and again going out ???? Lovely stuff indeed.

This move will definitely increase the ranks of the unemployed and of course have a wonderful effect on the economy.

So, no more soapie massages in the near future ???

Furthermore, hope all potential tourists are advised to bring their own water !!!

A sad state of affairs.

Let's drug test the entire police force first from top to bottom, just to make sure that drug dealers are not bullying other drug abusers because that would be a silly situation.

And why not give all the Police, army, navy and all politicians a lie dectector test and see how many of them are involved in the sale and supply of illegal drugs, now that would be interesting.....

Do they actually use lie detectors in Thailand ???

CHINA 67 - the rest 64 ( 67 incl Thailands 3 in 2022).......very impressive China.

191 police? ....191 police men for 1 rented room and 2 korean guys?

must have been fairly cramped in that room.......

Yes !! CM reputation is damaged, possibly beyond repair.... forever to be known as the province where a guy took selfies next to signs NEKID !!! how will they recover?

and don't forget the naked bungee jump...........

Chiang Mai, D300, 14-24mm Nikkor,

Anyone read about the Chinese teacher executed yesterday for rape ???. No slap on the wrist for that sort of crime in China.

I don't have a work permit, am retired and have a CC with Bangkok Bank. I've just locked up 100,000Baht in a savings account and have that credit limit. Maybe try them. You might have to try several different branches.

I also have CC with Bangkok Bank. Just nominate the amount you need a cover with fixed deposit of same amount.

10 fully armed soldiers to take on 9 unarmed civilians ?? Certainly not taking any chances.

Any chance the Chiang Mai airport taxis will ever start using their meters ???

White oke would be appropriate !!!

A huge turnout for the re-enactment ???

Considering the stae of the economy can Thailand really afford these long holidays ???

Thailand certainly did not feature in the Top 10 list I read earlier this week.....Brazil was ranked #1 with Columbia,Argentina,Ukraine and South Korea also being included the top 10.

The atmosphere in Koh Samui in Surat Thani was lacklustre yesterday. Hotel operators said the car bomb on Friday night had had a negative impact on business.

We can anticipate an extra 7282 rai of land being put to flame ???
