No money left in the trees now that there are no visitors.  Something has to grow up there.

Whooowat. Bombs in trees.

This is getting serious now.

 

I think I will open a bomb tying in trees school

4 policemen to point at nothing and say that's where it was... 

Thailand's version of spot the ball.  Now it's spot the explosive.

Interesting to see the "Tourist Police" dealing - I thought EOD officers would have attended?

Perhaps the EOD was a tourist EOD that got drunk and found itself up a tree. Woke up and bounced on the ground. Tourist police involvement.

Definitely not in the running for the point of the year award. 3/10 at best.
