Isaan sailor Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Let us consider currency reactions to this. China's currency nosedives 0.8% over USD. Vietnam Dong--no change. Thai Baht rockets up 18 satang over USD. Trade wars? Flimsy excuse. Corruption? Maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Whoever did this, did not intend to cause much bodily harm. They seem to have been very minor devices, planted in such a way as to not injure a crowd of people, like the Erawan Shrine bombing back in August of 2015, which injured 120 and killed 20 people. That was a nasty one. These are quite mild mannered by comparison. Makes one wonder, does it not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raccos21 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I think PM was busy with tourists and foreigners’ issues and he totally forgot about what’s going on in this country. There’s more to come, I guess. This is just a wake up call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 22 hours ago, GalaxyMan said: Well, Prayut is showing just how effective he is already as Defense Minister, Head of the Police, and Head of Special Investigations. Can't even prevent a bombing campaign in his own city during a major international conference. Huge loss of face for him. True about the loss of face but to be fair the security services in the wonderful developed world can't prevent bomb attacks in their cities either; or mass shootings and vehicle attacks. The world we live in - mass cctv, more government "control", disabling the populations ability to defend themselves, rife corruption and ineffective inefficiency and more taxes.

I don't approve of the method but have to say it's about bloody time the resistance wakes up. Thais have been taking it up the chimney for years now.

rossco1 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 one things for sure Prayut has resigned his military commission so if happens Prayut cant come back as a Junta leader so it will be most short lived Political careers on record so bye bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe the youth will eventually rise up, and will attempt to do away completely with the totally useless army. The Thai army does absolutely nothing to benefit the nation, and sucks the nation's blood, like a vampire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a nasty looking person and I believe he wants his turn at the trough. He comes from a different faction in the Army than Prayuth does and again IMHO if he held a coup he would not hesitate to tell his troops to open fire and shoot anyone who gets in the way.

LOL It's not like the Thai military actually does anything to earn those. I know how hard it was to earn proper bling in the US Army, seems if you just graduate from a basic school you end up with a parachute on your chest in Thailand.

I bet there are several changes of underwear whatever the reason being arranged in parliament today! I have been thinking , since the election instalment of a supposed now, non military PM, that there may a rise or period of instability. This may be confirmation of another coup, certainly the symptoms are similar to early infection. Just what is needed to drive the remaining expats from LOS. Then the Chinese Hi So that rule Thailand can have complete control and the place can be swamped with Chinese tourists for ever. The entertainment industry will be taking a dive and those involved will be feeling a big pinch. The straw that broke the camels back it may seem.
