Where's action hero Prayuth been when this stuff has been happening constantly down south?

12 bombs in 1 day in the South ... is it a coincidence that this happened a few days after the PDRC "guards" were sent back home from BKK?

Perhaps the message is "Release the Kamnan or else"?

or insurgents exploiting the situation with more to come.

Well, we TV members know everything about Thailand, and we know it must be a Yellow Shirt plot. Or a Red Shirt plot. There's no other possible explanation if anything happens in Thailand.

My shower head started leaking yesterday and my cat coughed up a hairball, and I'm sure it's a Yellow Shirt plot.. Or maybe the Reds... Anyway, I wish they would leave my poor cat alone.

Southern insurgents would be unlikely to act as PDRC guards in the south due to: a) their need of anonymity ... b.)... the RKK and PDRC have nothing in common concerning their goals.

Madman in Dubai and his newest terrorist attack. We now know him as the Bin Laden of Thailand.... or is it Dubai?

Would be nice if the army could get Mr T brought back to Thailand on terrorist charges.

Exactly! Anyone remembers bombings in BKK after T fled the country and government froze his bank accounts on some corruption charges? Coincidentally bomb attacks stopped after most of his accounts were released.

The army knows that the only lasting solution in the former Kingdom of Patani is a political solution. The insurgents are making sure their issue is moved up the junta's agenda.
