pity he has a long sleeve shirt on or we could see if he had anything on his forearms

The fact that he is wearing long sleeves now gives me hope.

Make no mistake, the Yamaha MT07 is a truly awesome bike.

Hired a new one in CNX , rode down 118, through the mountains.

Great power and torque. Smooth engine , great gearbox and brakes.

Very comfortable.

Useful gear position indicator.

Confidence inspiring handling.

Sad to take it back

What other bike in LOS can compare with this?

Just saying.

I am hearing this a lot. This bike supposed to be the best in it's class.

(FZ in North America)

The arrest was made after about 100 police and troops surrounded the apartment at at 1:30 pm.

It's a given fact that Thai cops are inept ... but needing 100 to arrest one man? Hilarious.

Boring comment. And what would have been your comment if the guy would have escaped? The guy rented multiple rooms so there could have been a lot of people involved. It could have been a large gang hiding in that apartment block.

Well they were under pressure to arrest somebody... anybody. Now they just have to plant and fabricate evidence. Case solved.

Dont be so insulting to the dead

Where in his post is he insulting the victims?

I think you are more insulting than Reigntax as you don't even consider the injured.

Shame on you for being assumptious and rude to all victims.

Closing a case by using a scapegoat IS insulting to the victims.

You mean like the RTP did in Koh Tao.? Similar situation, under pressure to find an answer, many false and misleading statements by authorities and suddenly they announce they have an arrest.

He may not be the bomber but he will certainly be charged with it and the evidence, if allowed to be examined will be as flimsy and concocted as the KT circus.

See, investigations are supposed to be based on collecting evidence and this evidence leads to a suspect, not first identify who you want the suspect to be and then collect or by other means, produce evidence to connect it to the scapegoat.

Like it's never happened before Nicky has it?

That's besides the point Fat H. We are talking about whether it would be insulting to the victims or not.

Or are they saying that if you read something about this vest don't believe it because it has nothing to do with this case? Don't have somebody around d me who can read Thai.

Evidence

C4 explosives are only available to the military. You can't make it. Seems unbelievable evidence to me. More evidence pls.

stop trolling

So many replies to this topic but not a single person saying

"Boy did I sound like a moron claiming that it was the red shirts"

nor

"Gee jolly did I sound like a moron claiming it was the Junta"

Thai Visa members don't like to lose face.

that's because that is the last thing they have after they lost the first wife, the scoopie, the hilux, the first house, that 20k golden necklace, several buffalos, aso ;-)

I won't give you a "like" but it's funny.

Scapegoat written all over this arrest. Don't believe it.

Ok then! cheers!!

Who just happened to know where to get 3KG's of explosive?

If you ask enough people it's not hard to believe you will eventually find a supplier.

I also think that finding the materials is easier than making the kind of bomb that was used.

I repeat... The very latest update from the Thai Police is that this chap is NOT the suspect bomber but part of the Network....which network they do not state.

I guess it is very clear to most of us that until now the only thing that is fairly sure is that the guy they caught was into bomb-making and passport forgery.

A question re the photos that have been posted in this thread thus far:

None of the photos that I've seen posted here thus far seem to show any actual explosives or actual bombs.

But tonight, my wife showed me some photos floating around the Thai social media that showed what look like pipe bombs supposedly having been retrieved from this guy's rooms.

Anyone seen any pipe bomb photos from any credible sources associated with this guy's arrest?

BTW, I see the BKK Post's current web report is saying police did retrieve pieces of pipe from the guy's apartment.

You are on to something that has been bothering me.

There was one report that the police were showing photos on an iPad, including photos of the bomb materials. One photo made it on to this thread. It was a picture of a television screen from a newscast. On the right side is shown some pipe couplings and ball bearings.

This photo looks different from the others, and does not appear to be contemporaneous with the much publicized photos from the apartment. So one is left to wonder where and when it was taken.

As usual, the RTP and the media conspire to release information in such a haphazard fashion as to confuse everyone.

Ineptitude or cleverness? Stay tuned.

Check out the tiles in the picture (post 470)

There are some real smart.ss people here who know it all even though they haven't seen all the stuff they found inside the room. I am with some Chinese people and they have shown me images already 2 hours ago that are slowly being shown here now. 1 of them is post 452.

And there is one real smart person here who is sure that this is only a human trafficking case.

And these Chinese people you're with who got these pictures 2 hours ago, received them from whom? Their connections with the RTP are what? Are you saying/implying that pictures are being "leaked" to some Chinese recipients ?

I'd have thought that the RTP would have had all this "explosives" on show during the press conference, none of the online national news outlets have these pictures at present, your friends must be pretty "influential" people

Not really. You can find them on Thai websites since for 4 pm too. Just had a look for you. You must have missed them; too busy explaining us what is really going on I guess...

got some links ? I'm genuinely interested, there's nothing on the BP or the Nation.. thanks.

look around on Thairath, Khaosod and tweets from the Nation. Some are also being shown here now.

The suspect and the photo have many similarities. Same eyebrows and ears, similar facial hair considering the time frame, the same cheek bones. If this guy had a haircut, disposed of the glasses, and did not wrinkle his brow, he seems very similar. If they found bomb making equipment as well, it would seem that this man is more than just a suspect. Everyone puts the Thais down, no police force reveals all the facts and some of you posters have so much egg on your face, you could make omelettes for the masses.

He just lost some weight.

How on earth are they going to enforce that? I must use Line a dozen times a day - is there someone looking at my texts, and the cute chiwouha stickers my daughter sends me?

He must be mighty bored!

On a more sinister note, could this be a pretext to close down social media?

DID you register your sim card? if yes then not to difficult to track you down with all your info now recorded via your mobile...

So now the gov want to stop the population from commenting on the constitution by criminalizing it. only people on the TV can comment their thoughts.

Why are they so frightened?

When are the thought police coming?

They are frightened because self serving corrupt politicians spend loads of money on people who can spread propaganda fairly well... Thailand has been on the the brink of civil war just because of this. It is understandable that they are trying to avoid this.

Thaksin's clan doesn't like the draft charter. So it must be good for the country and bad for self serving politicians.

Although it says the poll was across the country, I'd like to know the regional variation and number of people polled in each area. I was in Phuket a couple of weeks back and everything was normal on the surface, whereas here in Isaan it's...less than free shall we say. Farang friends in BKK are very happy about the current set up, but when I ask Thais in my locale, although it's not easy to get them to talk, it's not far from a polar opposite of the south.

"he dared to speak and dared to act"

All we need to see now is "dare to accept questions from journalists".

He dares to speak and act. Yes very refreshing. The previous PM could only say: That will be the decision of the relevant authorities. You have to ask them. Oh yes, and laws and regulations have to be followed.... Thank you three times. Have to to go now.

Nothing new here. The majority of Thais love Prayuth. That's why the minority is getting more extreme. Both on TVF and out on the street.

Here in LOS I definitely prefer tubeless. I have had many punctures and was always able to fix them (with a plug) and get back home safely.

ahhh hahaha Thaksin is putting up more than the Junta, too funny.

Now we are getting in the realms of real interesting tea money. Everyone has a price here, lets hope the amount keeps rising until someone cracks.

It's not the first time Thaksin has put up money as a reward to catch a bomber-and to date he hasn't had to pay one baht. Perhaps he knows why.

yep. Five days have past and the authorities still have no clue. Time for politics, trow in some rewards...

I believe it is done by a group if people who don't like the current government.... at all. They might have lost a lot... I lose you lose.

Many smart-ss comments as usual here on tvf. People don't realize that a foreigner could easily have been hired to do the dirty work in an internal conflict. Don't think just make a comment as quick as possible.
