Mickmick Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Also, I did not expect him to go home after the bombing and sit there for 13 days with his bomb building supplies and wait for someone to finally show up to arrest him. After 13 days he was probably getting a little impatient! With his identikit pic on billboards, TV and papers , he might have thought it safer to sit still for a while out of sight. He probably expected the BIB to lose interest quickly and put it into the too hard basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coulson Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 A foreigner especially Turkish living in a remote area of Bangkok is probably up to no good. I'm saying this as a turk because 99% of Turkish come to Bangkok for sex, they would want to be close to bars not in the middle of nowhere. I just checked the location his residence is on google maps, the lad is obviously up to no good, he probably didnt come here for a soapie. Any good soapie recommendations? .........I hope you have, otherwise you're up to no good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the shape of the head, the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the eyebrows, ears. Oh wait, he got a haircut: an obvious 'frame up' then. And everybody has a number of fake passports in their posession - that's no indication of anything, right? Along with the kind of ball-bearings used and bomb making materials, while renting out 5 rooms in the crappiest part of town. Please. I know how to recognize police corruption, but these kind of statements here are just desperate denial. And your automatic implications that Thai's wouldn't care about catching the right man, are just racism on your part. Grow up and own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickymaster Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The suspect and the photo have many similarities. Same eyebrows and ears, similar facial hair considering the time frame, the same cheek bones. If this guy had a haircut, disposed of the glasses, and did not wrinkle his brow, he seems very similar. If they found bomb making equipment as well, it would seem that this man is more than just a suspect. Everyone puts the Thais down, no police force reveals all the facts and some of you posters have so much egg on your face, you could make omelettes for the masses.He just lost some weight.

GOLDBUGGY Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The passport is fake guys, just checked my passport. It says issued in Iştanbul. Its, Istanbul, not Iştanbul, they got that part wrong. This is not a Turkish passport but a very quality imitation indeed. no, it is of bad quality, there are 2 "date of expiry" lines also, I think the smaller portrait picture should be less colorful the vertical "turkiye" imprint below the larger photo isn't right too very bad quality imitation You are right. The 2 Expiry Dates is a Dead give-away. But I do wonder if he used this Passport to get into Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kannikapor88 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 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. Calm down and dont drink anymore today ... BTW its called "Thainess", not "Thainese" ...

pmugghc Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 RT@W7VOA: Police display one of the passport seized in room of #BangkokBlast suspect (no confirmation if real identity). http://t.co/yJCvVWKvaG Why does it say date of expiry two times? Someone with same passport let us know if Date of Expiry is listed twice on yours. The passport is valid for 10 years. re-read it. This is a fair point, looking at my own passport, not only does it say 'Date of Issue' and 'Date of Exipry' but the date of expiry is normally one day before the date of issue, so if issue was the 5th day of the month, expiry date will be the 4th... this might reasonably suggest a forged document. No. In my EU passport the day is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabas Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 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. '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." Nice call. The only thing I got from watching the video several times was what a long angular jaw the guy had. When the sketch came out, I thought, well, OK, but that is not the guy's long jaw. But look at the new photo and imagine what he would look like without the two weeks of beard. (and new hair cut?) That's the jaw in the video.

mikemac Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 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. You know what ? He probably can't see the irony ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
