August 29, 201510 yr I'm glad another potential bomber is off the streets of Thailand. HOWEVER, that is NOT the same man they have been searching for! can you tell me how you came to that conclusion?
August 29, 201510 yr RT@RichardBarrow: Photos of some of the “evidence” found in the apartment of the suspected bomber - RT @sataporn_pptv: http://t.co/4qMBGZliOP #Thailand Judging by the contents of that bag my house could be classified as a bomb mega-factory.
August 29, 201510 yr RT@vaitor: Local Thai Media stating Police raided suspects house and identified him as a Turkish national (28 years old) -http://t.co/VvFY1FjMeC The only similarity between the photo and the picture is both have a head with ears on it. I think your wrong. He's had a hair cut and growing a beard. Brillant.
August 29, 201510 yr RT@W7VOA: Police display one of the passport seized in room of #BangkokBlast suspect (no confirmation if real identity). http://t.co/yJCvVWKvaG 100% fake. there are 2 date of expiry lines The first line reads: 'Düzenleme tarihi' which translates as 'Date of Issue' - SO it's the English translation which is not correct.
August 29, 201510 yr To add, because the Turkish connection would be politically the least messy for the Thai government, especially compared to south Thailand or red shirts, that does add another aspect of skepticism. So there was bomb making equipment. Hmm. Assuming that find it legit, there were future bomb plans? If not, why keep such damning evidence around? You are close, with your wording, future plans.
August 29, 201510 yr Judging by how the RTP had the "right guys" in the Koh Tao case and how bulletproove their case was, I will kepp my applause for a few days. I really hope, they got him...but with these bumbling fools, I wouldn't bet my money on it!
August 29, 201510 yr Oh. So not the Red Shirts then?I bet that really disappoints you. On the contrary. I'm waiting for the apologies from those who immediately claimed it was. Starting at the top.
August 29, 201510 yr To add, because the Turkish connection would be politically the least messy for the Thai government, especially compared to south Thailand or red shirts, that does add another aspect of skepticism. The Turkish "connection" has already had a huge amount of deniability overkill from the Turkish government when the Turkic / Uighur deportation retribution scenario was initially floated by (what passes for) the investigative media. It was even given a degree of acknowledgment by Prayuth and/or Somyos. So there was bomb making equipment. Hmm. Assuming that find it legit, there were future bomb plans? If not, why keep such damning evidence around? Maybe, like so many TV sleuths and critics, he subscribed to the common misconception that the RTP couldn't find their own ar5es with both hands and a flashlight.
August 29, 201510 yr Sounds promising. Lets wait and see how it pans out. Sad to see so many negative comments but I suppose that is to be expected with around 90% of expat Thai Visa members being negative about every news story on this site. If you stay in Thailand please go home if things are so bad.
August 29, 201510 yr Guess Im having my hat for dinner...... Yes me too! If the BiB can conclusively prove guilt.
August 29, 201510 yr in the fake passport photo, he looks like the FPS Russia guy of youtube fame wrong fact in hand. Deleted.
August 29, 201510 yr Someone just dared ask live on TV if this suspect is a scapegoat which resulted in a very angry response
August 29, 201510 yr RT@W7VOA: Police display one of the passport seized in room of #BangkokBlast suspect (no confirmation if real identity). http://t.co/yJCvVWKvaG 100% fake. there are 2 date of expiry lines Reportedly, he had dozens of passports in the five rooms he rented.
August 29, 201510 yr From BBC, reporting that General Chaktip said "We found dozens of passports inside his room." In the second photo of the suspect today, his angular cheekbones and jaw, and slightly rounded nose look almost identical to the guy in the CCTV dropping off the bag. Most normal people don't have dozens of passports or bomb-making things in their room. I think they've got the right guy. If this is the right guy, I offer my humble congratulations and thanks to the Royal Thai Police for locating this murderer and preventing further atrocities.
August 29, 201510 yr Guess Im having my hat for dinner...... 555 recall your post. HP sauce makes everything taste better.
August 29, 201510 yr Arm Chair critics. The majority of these post are blatantly bias, derogatory and racist. You call it Thainese - I call it Thainese bashing. As a westerner I'm pretty appalled and disgusted with what I read on this forum. The majority of you should return to your native countries as you have no consideration, compassion, understanding or respect of your host / adopted country. I do believe the country you call home is not what you remember if it ever was what depict it to be. If it was SO good why are you in Thailand ? How many of you ARE former Police Detectives or Agents of special services of and for your native country ?? Only those that are can offer expertise opinion. The rest of you watch to much CSI; The Bill; FBI or the Bourne Identity trilogy to base your vast worldly knowledge of outspoken ill informed opinion on. Your posts are if not more than a pathetic indictment of your pathetic and sorry miserable lives but plausible for a poor excuse of entertainment. I'm glad I don't know any of you as I would much rather call a Thai a friend than any of you. If I was a special agent I wouldn't tell U would I.
August 29, 201510 yr Oh yeah, the area north east of the airport is largely populated by muslims. Tons of mosques around there and lots of muslim communities. That's the area they caught that SEA terrorist kingpin as well a few years back, can't remember his name. That's true, and if that theory follows, those possible sponsors also saw to it that he stayed in what appears to be a relatively remote Muslim area, as on TV it showed a number of women residents wearing hijabs. No it is not where they caught Hambali, that is where Hambali was frightened to stay because he feared the people would turn him in. So he went to Ayutthaya, where he was caught. Nong Chok is the "ghetto" for Shiites, and the organising place for pro-Iran, "wipe out Israel" and "Hamas is wonderful" rallies you see in Bangkok occasionally - plus the anti-US ones. And it is NOT where they caught Hambali (or any other terrorist of any kind).
August 29, 201510 yr we do not judge a whole country and its people on one man , at least not the majority of us... "The majority"... ...the TV faithful judge the whole Thai nation on daily basis after bar fining a Thai slapper the night before The majority of TV posters are not judgemental ....may I humbly suggest you read TV a bit more....Thai's, Chinese, Russians, Indians all targets of TV tolerant ,impartial, non bigoted members
August 29, 201510 yr Wot is wrong with u people. He does look Turkish. Obviously u not travel very far. Not to a Turk maybe as a Turkish poster pointed out, but they would distinguish differently. The Uyghurs are a Eurasian (mixed ancestry) population with Eastern and Western Eurasian anthropometric and genetic traits. Uyghurs are thus one of the many populations of Central Eurasia that can be considered to be genetically related to European and East Asian populations. Wiki. That is where I would be putting my money....
August 29, 201510 yr You guys probably dont judge a country based on one man, but Thais surely do. I went a hotel with my Israeli friend, we were denied a room because he had a Israeli passport. Apparently that hotel doesn't allow Israelis because some Israeli tourist stole some items from the room and fled without paying before. And this is just one example. And plus, I reitirate my stance, the guy is not Turkish Can you see the irony of what you're saying? Judging all Thais because of one Thai hotel receptionist.

August 29, 201510 yr Author RT@Ryn_writes: A journalist asked if the man is scapegoat, Gen Somyos asked which outlet he's from and told him to get out, saying 'uncreative question.
August 29, 201510 yr well am sure as hell the passport is fake, and he looks like turkish and is well and truly up shit creek without a paddle! congratulations thai police

This is just one of the many examples I have. Thais love racial profiling in general. For example Indians are not allowed in some clubs whenever an indian tries to get in mixx they say its a private party.
August 29, 201510 yr Well they were under pressure to arrest somebody... anybody. Now they just have to plant and fabricate evidence. Case solved. Dont be so insulting to the dead Your obviously Thai and been educated not to think and just follow your superiors. The only insult to the dead is the incompetence of the investigation but you wouldnt realise it. I'm sorry, but if you have this little respect for Thai people, then you should really find a different place to be. Please do.
August 29, 201510 yr Author RT@RichardBarrow: 5:30pm Evidence from the apartment block being taken away - RT @Pananat_PPTV: http://t.co/bYIOFJxRin #Bangkok #Thailand
August 29, 201510 yr Richard Barrow @RichardBarrow 2m2 minutes ago A clearer shot of the suspect's arms. No sign of tattoos. Is this really the suspected bomber or associate? #Thailand
August 29, 201510 yr So he's not the bomber but may be the bomb maker. (Prawut said the suspect was not the bomber but might belong to the movement as police found bomb making materials in his room) Or he may not be connected to the bombings at all. So far he's just a guy with fake passports and some common household items that rented 5 rooms in a lo so Thai area and he had ball bearings.
August 29, 201510 yr Glad to see it was not a Thai person that planted that bomb. A suspect has been arrested today, its probably to early to determine who wasn't responsible.
