Thai Man Loses Fingers After Neighbour Plants Bomb on His Motorcycle

A Bangkok man lost three fingers when a homemade bomb attached to his motorcycle exploded. The victim, a 21‑year‑old food delivery rider, discovered a suspicious device tied to his front wheel in his apartment compound. When he attempted to remove it, it detonated, severing his thumb, index, and middle fingers. Police traced the device’s origin to a neighbour, 32‑year‑old Suthat, who admitted planting it after a parking dispute — the victim had parked in what Suthat considered “his spot.” CCTV showed the suspect exiting his unit early before the blast. During questioning, Suthat confessed and revealed that he learned bomb-making from online tutorials. Police have seized explosive materials from his room and charged him with causing grievous injury. Investigators are also determining if additional charges — like possession of explosive devices — may apply. The case underscores how personal disputes can escalate dangerously when homemade weapons are involved.
