Like millions of Thais across the country on Thursday, I watched in horror as the events at Nong Bua Lamphu unfolded on my social media timeline. Headlines usually reserved for faraway places, quiet towns in America’s heartland, were happening right here at home.

 

The first instinct was to deny that something so evil and horrible could happen in Thailand. After all, previous social media rumours have dissipated into the ether many times before.

 

But when traditional media started picking up the story in the early afternoon, reality could no longer be avoided.

 

And like the millions of Thais who tuned into the story, we were all left wondering why? Why did something so senseless happen here?

This is lame.

Why is being referred to as a mass shooting, with comparisons to the US, when the majority of the child victims were stabbed to death?

If the Thais would stop bowing and scraping to the filthy corrupt scum who run this country, society might normalise. The RTP are corrupt, criminal and entitled, and can and do whatever they want. They and their masters are absolute scum, and nobody except the young, protest. The police have the emotions and empathy of an SS guard at a concentration camp.

Questions can come later..

 

Today,  Thailand is not the Number One Country to visit, it is not the Country with the best Resorts and Islands in the world, nor with the best beaches with blue waters, nor with the best Spas, nor is it the country with the best cuisine in the world, nor with the best and more entertaining nightlife… Today Thailand is the Nation with the most horrendous massacre perpetrated by a single murderer in the history of this Asian country.

 

Today Thailand is the darkest and cloudiest country in the world, without light or happiness.  Today Thailand is in mourning because there are too many dead children and too many broken-hearted families, neighbors, friends and readers.

 

Not Thailand, today you are not the Country of the smile, neither the Number One in this F world.

 

Questions can come later or now;

 

WHY?

 

RIP

A national day of mourning should be declared in the memory for the souls of the many young and and old who perished by the hand of a psycho mad man...

I live where this occurred and the police have a lot to answer for the police station is minutes away from what occurred why did they take so long to get there 

The final number of victims is still to be arrived at.

There will be some family members that will never recover from this horror.

They will be broken forever.

Very, very sad ☹️.

RIP ????

You will never know. It will never be explained. If anyone is too persistent in asking defamation prosecutions await...

Asking the tough questions can certainly be put off, but not for too long.

 

 

Unfortunately, police corruption and the methamphetamine scourge are part of the Thai fabric, and unthreading them from the overall garment is impossible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heal? How about making positive change and then use that change as a method to heal. 

Sadly, this is just the beginning.

Because the Thai system is to cover things up.

This boy was a renegade, even hated by his own colleagues.. yet they decided to keep it quiet, instead of dealing with him properly.

NO

Questions should rightly come now

Answers must come later.
