BANGKOK: -- AFTER police released their sketch of the prime suspect in the deadly explosion at the Erawan Shrine, it soon went from locally to globally viral.

The drawing shows a fair-skinned man with thick, medium-length black hair, dark eyes, a wispy beard and black-framed glasses.

People have pitched in to predict and guess what the suspect would look like if he altered his appearance, such as by not wearing glasses, shaving his head or changing his hairstyle.

Art designer Witcha Suyara posted on Facebook that his friends had asked him to develop his impressions of the suspect in case he disguised himself.

"I hope my design skill will help police catch the guy faster," he said.

StickboyBangkok tweeted "Alternative photofits of #Bangkok bomber without glasses, with short hair & wearing a cap (Pic Anamisis Zaki)" with the image of the suspect in different looks.

Footage from surveillance cameras is being used to chase the suspect. For example, CSI LA Page on Facebook posted a video of the suspect riding a tuk-tuk and asked people to find the tuk-tuk driver who picked up the suspect.

Agence France-Presse also reported that Thais had taken to the Internet to crowd-source the identity of the prime suspect in the shrine bombing.

Netizens went into overdrive after police on Tuesday released a grainy security recording of a man appearing to place a bomb-laden backpack at the crowded shrine a few minutes before the blast.

On social media, Thais have been using the hashtag #bombercluephoto to collate images taken in the area where the bomb exploded.

"All camera around there before bomb. Please share and hashtag," Thai Twitter user @Kemkrithera wrote in English.

The report also mentioned that other Internet sleuths had focused their search on locating where that T-shirt could be bought.

One post, written by Thai Facebook user, Sa-nguan Khumrungroj, featured an Internet search for a very similar-looking T-shirt available in Indonesia.

"This shirt is sold in Indonesia," he wrote.

"I've seen this [for sale] in Pratunam," replied a friend, referring to a large garment market in Bangkok.

However, while the suspect is still at large, there are many falsely accused.

People who bear a resemblance to the suspect have posted their pictures and said they were not the suspect, just a look-alike.

Wisawa Bossbibi Suwannakul said on Facebook that the sketch seemed to be him, but just looked like him. It is not him.

After that, he decided to delete the post, saying he realised that the picture that compared him and the suspect in the sketch might be used in both proper and improper ways.

Beamed? Calling Batman, calling Batman.

[Pattaya28]

With all the alleged cctv of the suspect, why have the Police got no facial photo of this guy ?

Beaming a vague "sketch" with 8 hairstyles. Didn't they think he may be bald ?

[englishoak]

What do they want, a medal ?

[Anthony5]

I thought they said that at least 10 were involved in the bomb attack, the OP shows only 8 of them.

Ok, I get my coat.

well whoever it was ..he was probably just some lowlife who was hired to do the deed..and in my opinion..may have just as well been bumped off already and spread out in a hundred different places by the same ones who are really behind this...dead men tell no tales

[speedtripler]

I would check every temple in the country in case hes hiding in one of them...

No hair and no eyebrows wearing an orange dress would look completely different... Especially if he's lived there for months before the bomb and the hair is just a wig

[RedRoadRunner]

does anybody put his eyes on the arm bandages the guy is wearing in the photos and video?

looks like e is hiding his forearm tattoos. just an idea........
