This might rule out his arrival on an international flight. Doesn't immigration take pictures of everyone flying into the country?

Goggle facial recognition software, mate.

if the sketcher can't draw a pair of eyeglasses correctly, how can we trust the face to be accurate or even fairly accurate?

Could also be Muslim as well or maybe a Jew. Or how about a Coptic Syrian No no wait looks like the band leader of $*%*$.

Anyways whoever he is He is laying low now since they have a decent description of Him Thank god I don't have curly hair

Perhaps you are hearing impaired? The song "I'm Leaving on a jet plane, don't know if I'll be back again," was playing in the background of the blast coverage on CCTV....

How many people in Thailand do you see with curly hair? Think about it.

Forgot that mate, when in doubt rely on Google....works every time eh?

Since the guy has sweatbands on the center of his arms that are only likely to be to conceal his tats, it's probably also no coincidence he has ridiculously large glasses and massive hair.

Some off-topic, inflammatory and troll posts along with replies removed. Please stay on topic and stop with the gratuitous political commentary.

Didn't mean to sound negative in my previous post I think it's fantastic they can eliminate black people, women, fatties and the tall from this investigation.

Could be any American passport holder for the last few decades too smile.png

Damm 'merkins! Probably hiding out at the Nana club for 'merkins?

On topic: This artiest sketch does not resemble the person shown in the mass media filming. I suppose the BIB have better photos for their review?

If he's Thai or Chinese he must have been working on that stubble for a month ....

Well they said it could be a wig, so the stubble could be glued on pubes, basically..... they have no idea.

Yes, I am almost sure he was wearing a wig, and the spectacles are also fake. Normally he doesn't wear any spectacles besides sun glasses I believe.

So the sketch should be reworked to show him bald-headed and with no spectacles at all.

Wheres' his camel???

Good luck trying to find an average guy, with an average face, of average height who was most likely wearing a wig and fake glasses with the best photos of him being some grainy "wash"...

His movements might be the key. Gayish, almost female, loser type - the one that usually gets pushed around by bullies...

Together with the photo fit, they offer 1M Baht for information. Is that all they can raise for someone that will have damaged Thailand's tourism and economy worth several more millions I would have thought.

Hotel groups could offer 1M each, so could the TAT, so could many other organizations . It should be at least 20M baht!

Most of the above comments appear to dismiss this activity as being related to the earlier atrocities.We are forgetting that time has moved on and the new tricks are far more sophisticated than 2006-2013.

Four days ago I commented on Yinluck's statement,on Jatuporn's response to the new charter,and his threat to meet with the red shirts.This all came about soon after Mr.T possibly

accepted that he was going to lose his stripes.

These new forays prompted me to warn that things were about to get real bad; " no holes barred" I think I wrote. PLease GOD,I would like to re-think my pondering,and hope that there is a speedy end to this disgusting atmosphere.

Clearly RTP & Immigration would have facial recognition software that far more advanced.

Even a "free" tool such Picasa (also Google) has very accurate facial recognition Or an advanced product like Cognitec would find the face in a crowd..

Out of the 100,000s of photos I have Picasa will accurately identify faces - the only inaccurate result it ever showed was identifying my friend's daughter as the mum, but hey they look very similar.

I'm sure Government organisations would have access to very accurate facial recognition software..

and you can bet your left one on teh fact that Thailand would have access to NSA\CIA software to track faces!

If this scumbags photo is in any government database they already know his name!

I noticed in the video that he was not particularly tall. The two men standing in front of him (in the red and white shirts) appear to be somewhat taller. As everyone in that crowd was Asian and he did not stand out as being tall, I would expect him to be about 170cm (5'7'ish).

good work on getting a sketch out quickly .... lets hope they catch this murderer very soon ....

coffee1.gif They have a definite lead: Might be foreigner or Thai.facepalm.gif

Yes and again when they leave.

The hotel or apartment where he stayed is also supposed to take a copy of his passport, but do they? I cannot remember last time I showed my passport when staying at a hotel.

Considering the background of the British citizen murdered in this bombing that "joke" is in astonishingly poor taste.
. It was a Fact,not a Joke ,sorry I offended the P.C Wimps.

You can search Google "us savagery visited upon libya, .."

There are several articles relating to this, but personaly I find it hard to believe.

ON BBC news, in London, they just said..

They have an arrest warrant for a foreign person, and they think the person left via the Airport - Didn't say which airport ..

Also said 2 other men also seen in the CCTV are being sought as suspects.

Wonder where he was headed, and if there is an extradition treaty in place!

I saw somebody that looked very similar to that guy last night. I don't have a phone so how should I report it? It probably isn't the guy but he was acting very weird.

That narrows it down a bit... rolleyes.gifrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif

So that pretty much rules out he's a redshirt. (Along with technical details of the bomb, and the indiscriminate murderous/terrorist intent; it's not beyond them to meddle with glorified fireworks against specific political targets and then usually at night when nobody is there. Everything about this is different.)

Congratulations. I have read some real doozies on TV but that's one of the best yet. How on earth do you come to the conclusion he's not a Red shirt from a sketch?crazy.gif

I also wouldn't call hand grenades and grenade launchers glorified fireworks. The motive seems to be to damage the economy and Thaksin's mob is the only one that would really benefit from that. This could very well be a small radicalised group of reds fed up with a lack of progress and taking it to the next level. Same goes for the southerners, although that seems doubtful to me as the southern groups were quick to disown the bomb that more radical members of their group set in, I think, Phuket and would have thought they would have done the same if this was a southerner.

All we can gather from the sketch is he is Asian in appearance, because of the eyes. I don't see how anyone can be ruled out at this point, with the exception of most Africans.
