17 year old man caught with two explosive devices in South Pattaya.

Just after 9.30pm on Christmas Eve, Police Sergeant Major Somsee who was working at a checkpoint set up near the South Pattaya intersection with Pattaya Third Road, spotted one man on a motorbike who appeared nervous as he approached. He was ordered to pull over and was found to be carrying two circular items wrapped in black tape which appeared to be some form of explosive device. The 17 year old man was immediately placed under arrest and taken to Pattaya Police Station where he explained that he was carrying the items to protect himself, he also mentioned that he was on his way to discard the items in fear of the Police. Police do not entirely believe the young man and think that he may have been planning some form of attack at a concert which was being held on Monday Night at the Concert Ground at the North end of Pattaya Third Road. He is now behind bars pending further investigations.

This is one good reason they have checkpoints.

Truly scary.

If you follow the news it really isn't uncommon with these young gang

members. If it's not guns it's swords and now I guess they're graduating

to small explosives. It is scary, some of the nuttier stuff seems to happen

in these suburban areas just outside the city. Seems to keep getting worse.
