August 30, 201510 yr Enough with the speculation. Lets wait for the police story to unfold....it could be very interesting!
August 30, 201510 yr Where is Nong Jok? Good God man... have you really not yet heard of Google? In less than one minute I searched right from your question and now I everything about Nong Jok in regards to your question. The correct spelling is Nong Chok according to some sources. http://tinyurl.com/ndl7doc Translation: เขตหนองจอก kàyt nŏng jòk Wiki: Nong Chok (Thai: หนองจอก; IPA: [nɔ̌ːŋ tɕɔ̀ːk]) is one of the 50 districts (Khet) of Bangkok, Thailand. It is bounded by other districts (from north clockwise): Amphoe Lam Luk Ka of Pathum Thani Province, Amphoe Bang Nam Priao and Amphoe Mueang Chachoengsao of Chachoengsao Province, Lat Krabang, Min Buri and Khlong Sam Wa of Bangkok. It is the biggest and the least populated district of Bangkok. FYI, Google lets you search for REALLY NEAT stuff like Wikipedia and maps and all kinds of useful things:
August 30, 201510 yr There is an interesting update in Bkk Post, they found more material in another apartment in Min Buri. The guy is obviously telling some things. Have the article read. Wonder why the officials do not wear gloves in the image. No need for fingerprints?

August 30, 201510 yr urea-based fertilizer, six 12x7cm bottles of flash powder, black and blue electric wiring, four wristwatches, a table clock, a pack of bolts, decorative tree lights, an empty box for a walkie-talkie, a radio controlled toy vehicle and a rucksack containing books.I hope they have good fingerprints from these objects.
August 30, 201510 yr It's tough keeping up with the bouncing ball on this one. --earlier, it was reported the guy they arrested was refusing to answer any questions. Now it's reported that he gave info to the police/military that led them to the Minburi apartment where other stuff was found. --earlier, I thought it was reported that police found this guy due to a tip from his landlord who thought something suspicious might be afoot with 5 rooms being rented. But now it's being reported that police found the guy thru tracking mobile phone records with Turkish roaming. --earlier, various reports said or suggested this guy was the actual Erawan bomber. Now, most of the latest reports seem to say he allegedly was involved, but wasn't actually the guy on the CCTV footage who delivered the Erawan bomb. Details always emerge as investigations play out. But in these cases, the differing versions are basically contradictory to each other, or certainly would appear to be.
August 30, 201510 yr I am sure he is talking a little more freely, did not the military take him away for chat, bet his life is a little painful right now.

August 30, 201510 yr Fake/photoshopped image removed plus replies. There is enough confusion reigning without adding nonsense to the topic.
August 30, 201510 yr If you started from the premise that there was a Turkish connection, and that would be one of their leads, all you do is look up the code for Turkey and off you go. From that result you get any local calls incoming and outgoing and Bob's your uncle. Alright, so how did the premise of the Turkish connection first come about? The RTP says they raided this place based on the suspicions of a local and stumbled across someone that is not Thai and has fake Turkish ID, ie. no confirmed ID or nationality. Remember, we all look the same to them. Then, within 12 hours, the RTP claim they have this Turkish SIM activity that appears to be growing in quantity around the two bomb locations and the apartments. I wonder if they can check for the activity of those SIMS in places beyond the three crime scenes as I am pretty sure there's was quite few of them and they moved about a fair bit more than Nong Chok, Erawan and Sathorn. That's indeed if there were any Turkish/Uighur people smuggler/terrorist cell in the first place. The police were already zeroing in Turkish nationals at least two days before the arrest (Police examining data on recent Turkish visitors), it could hardly had come from seeing cell phone activity at the moment of the attack alone, since there must had been at least 20 nationalities milling about at that time. There must had been another reason for that, either a simple hunch that it may had been related to the Uighur affair or some other clues they picked up.
August 30, 201510 yr Just thinking outside the box. I've just blow the hell out of a public place killing and maiming a lot of people. CCTV catches my escape. I've had days to get the heck out of Dodge. Why I'm I still in my room with a bunch of materials that could be used for bomb making. Personally, especially considering the media was saying there was not a good CCTV coverage, I'd be in a different country, and back to whatever sick terror cell I came from. But no! The "Suspect" stays. Like one of the previous posters said. Wait and see. About sums up my train of thought.The thai police said the bombing was carefully planned, yet they sit in the room ?? Days after the incident with all the bomb making gear,, REALLY... rijit So what is your theory then , RTP asked the guy if he would sit inside the room and pretending to be the bomber so they could shoot some pictures and release it to the world?

Yeah . sounds about halfway right the.other half might be a turkish/eastern european bad boy someone doesnt mind giving up. And in return, Maybe a decent hastle free run at what?? Mmm what are the middle eastern crooks in thailand into,, probably take ure pick.Or do u think that deals like that dont happen in thailand.rijit

August 31, 201510 yr I don't know if this has already been posted. It is from Aussie news site. The picture of the pier bomber although grainy seems to have very angular facial features unlike most Asians. Apologies if it has already been posted. http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/is-foreigner-arrest-a-breakthrough-moment-for-thai-police/ar-AAdKVuu
August 31, 201510 yr How do 200 fake Turkish passport point to a forgery group seeking revenge? Turkish citizens need visa to enter both the EU and the U.S. My bet those 200 passports were there to get the 109 Uighurs to Turkey.
August 31, 201510 yr The more I think about these arrests the more I wander whether this actually is an operation to move Uighurs fleeing China to Turkey. The police either discovered it through a tip off or mobile phone records, or were told about it by China, and the opportunity has been seized to "kill two birds with one stone" as it were.
August 31, 201510 yr Beef slapper mate, how many times have you been informed about posting stuff from the Bangkok post is not allowed?

August 31, 201510 yr The big question now is how much information comes out before he dies (suicide by fork or choking on a fishhead) in custody.
August 31, 201510 yr The big question now is how much information comes out before he dies (suicide by fork or choking on a fishhead) in custody. Nah they have to have a trial and dont forget they have to discover an accomplis and find the rest of the bomb making equiptment after all they arnt thai so they have to be stupid !!!rijit
August 31, 201510 yr The passport is 100% fake, the news outlets should stop using the term "Turkish" Its Istanbul, not Iştanbul And two Date of Expiry columns, the first one is supposed to be Date of Issue. The PP is maybe fake, but it doesn't mean the person is not a Turk does it ? If he is a turk why would he use a fake turkish passport smartypants He wouldn't use his real one would he??
August 31, 201510 yr well i got yak yak for bkk posts posts, hope this one is allowed, got not a clue http://www.stickboybangkok.com/news/police-reward-the-police-with-3m-baht-in-bangkok-bomb-case/ Police Reward The Police With 3m Baht In Bangkok Bomb Case
August 31, 201510 yr I knew they were going to give the reward to themselves, it has happened before. Just too many bananas in this republic.
August 31, 201510 yr ... Police acted on a tip from the landlord who owned the apartment that the suspect was renting, according to a police source who declined to be named. The landlord grew suspicious because the suspect did not speak Thai and rented five rooms on the same floor of the apartment building, since late July... And today I read that police are claiming the reward for themselves: https://twitter.com/pakhead/status/638234400015040513

But carry on having a go.
