xbusman Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 The JW Marriot Sukhumvit was cordoned off tonight by about 40 or 50 police. All cars were being stopped and searched for explosives. I deduced this by the mirrors on sticks routine and the undercarriage inspections. As the JW Marriot was targeted in Bali, it might be just that they are being cautious but looks to me like there might be some information that is not in the daily rags. Personally I think a heightened sense of awareness makes sense in the Sukhumvit area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Noodles Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I dont like Sukhumvit anyway and avoid it if possible (nothing to do with terrorism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoophound Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Interesting ,Is the Marriott property US owned? Why not the Sheraton or Westin....Thai owned? Still security is good,I stayed at the Intercon in Makati recently,full treatment their with high security,taxi searches etc. Perhaps the most un nerving thing was all the Motor cycle riding police with the pillion literaly riding shotgun.
