Col. Kachornsak Pandee of the San Sai Police Station said. “His house is fully equipped with things like gunpowder, tape, fertilizer and electric detonators.”The house was rented to a second-year student from Maejo University, Kachornsak said, who was home alone when the explosion took place. Kachornsak said the student’s left hand and left leg were “completely destroyed” by the blast.Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1438778112 -- Khaosod English 2015-08-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAppletons Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Big difference between "bomb" and "giant fireworks". Given the remote detonation capability, I know which description I'd use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kovaltech Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 This is Thailand... Not Europe, not USA... Did this person committed a crime ? Do the persons , who make their own rockets to fire in the sky, are criminals ? Is it illegal to make your own fire works in Thailand ? Sad , but stupid accidents happen.. not only in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukKrueng Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 To all you "know it all" guys here, here are some answers to your speculations: it was a fire work and not a bomb. It is traditionally used at the opening ceremony of the students initiation (rup nong) and was meant for the ceremony yesterday at 3pm. Due to the bad accident the ceremony got delayed and was of course done without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeJoMTB Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 You can buy bags of gunpowder and lengths of fuse in many of the local markets in CM. I also make my own fireworks, great hobby, don't smoke while doing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernphil Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 A university student bomb maker. I wonder if he had tattoos . If he had a tat. on his left hand ........ Sorry all this is in bad tat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So, he learned something at University? Wow! Such a pity that what he learned was not really useful. Losing a hand is a big price to pay for being an idiot. One can only hope that others will learn from this, but somehow I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeem Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Could have also been a bun bang fai (sp?) rocket that went bad. Not nearly enough info here to lynch the guy...
