Dice Man Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The "suspects " seem to move across the borders with no problems ? Did they fill in their TM 30 etc...to much time spent persecuting Westeners and not enough looking out for terrorists ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmartyn Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm British and staying in Bangkok and i fully understand about moving on with life after Friday's bombs in Bangkok. I find it totally unbearable and unbelievable that a Government representative stated it is now safe! How can it be safe when only "3" of the estimated "15" have been arrested! Yes! I'm scared/concerned about going into "Downtown Bangkok" for my own 100#% Safety! ???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerkinsCuthbert Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This circus will soon be put to bed - the amazing efficiency of the police force will be lauded, Big Cheese will pat himself on the back, and the end result will be some poor saps, probably innocent bystanders and/or minor criminals paid a few hundred Baht to plant the devices, will have been fitted up and banged away for life. Thai justice will have been served, tourists reassured and life will return to normal until the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the the immigration spudhead's rant about how TM30 is needed to monitor foreigners in the name of national security. Looks like the Thais are doing a damned good job of scuttling their own country without any help from foreigners. Unless the 15 suspects are all foreigners.

johnarth Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 something completely wrong with this the bombs used in main areas were kids toys not worth going to jail for the ones that burnt down the shops a different kettle of fish and if you watched the supposed bomb squad on tv playing with the so-called bombs you would know there was no danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Nothing about the alleged bombers' motive or affiliation. Are the authorities playing the cards close to their chest - or have they no idea who planted the devices or why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better chance of being hit by a speeding car or a motor taxi racing down on the pedestrian pavement in opposite direction than hurt by an occasion bomb. ????

Cadbury Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 21 hours ago, Eric Loh said: Expect that number to dwindle down to oblivion and soon forgotten. The police don’t seem to have any success in convicting any bombers except in the Deep South. The 2016 bombings in 5 locations that resulted in fatalities have all but forgotten with no one convicted. The Erawan bombers are still in court with no sentencing for next couple of years. As usual the police will have scores of suspects picked up at random to give the image of top notch efficient police work. They will soon be released for lack of evidence. Always the case. It would come as a surprise if they were released seeing as how the police paid themselves 3,000,000 baht reward for their capture. If it were admitted now there is not enough evidence for a conviction they might have to pay back the money and that would never happen. But maybe they might release them quietly and let them slip away. Then the money issue could be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickybangkok Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Its all a load of nonsense. One day a real device will go off in Bangkok. Too many soft targets in this city. With a police force that's prity pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given everything we know about how inept the police are here, I don’t believe a word of it. You assume they investigated by themselves? Are they building the BTS extensions by themselves? I'll bet American experts were involved behind the scenes. Another example of American excellence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
