Yeah, we should all thank Toxin for that. Nice stunt, making up a bomb attempt and after that making Bangkok's citizens life a complete mess

What are "ill-intentioned groups" anyway.

Is this a too-literal translation from Thai ?

Are they referring to people who carry placards with "Thaksin out" on them

or these mysterious people who supposedly want to blow him up ?

(Always wanted an opportunity to use that smiley)

I know that security has been tightened. Yesterday, the guard at my Mua Baan was awake! Never seen that before.

Other than a knee-jerk anti-Taksin reaction, do you have any proof on how this has made the 10+ million Bangkok resident's life a complete mess?

Sheesh, why do people post things like this. Where is that stop making stupid posts picture when you need it ?
