Junta Claims More Arrests Made, Urges Public to Report ‘Suspicious’ People
By Khaosod English


Junta spokesman Col. Winthai Surawee in a televised address today called on the public to report 'suspicious' residents.

BANGKOK — Thailand's military government has urged owners of guesthouses and apartments to report any "suspicious" people today and said it has made more arrests related to the deadly bombing of the Erawan Shrine earlier this month.

Col. Winthai Surawee said the military interrogation of a man arrested Saturday at an apartment in eastern Bangkok had led investigators to apprehend additional suspects and called on the public to report "supicious' people to the authorities.

“To help the ongoing investigation, we ask for the cooperation of the owners of residences, guesthouses, and apartments to notify the military or police officers or call 1515 if any suspicious individual stay at your premises,” Winthai said.

Winthai did not elaborate with any details of the arrests mentioned, nor did he qualify what basis should be the basis for reporting people.

Surawee also confirmed the investigation's first named suspect, Wanna Suansan, is in “another country” and had contacted authorities.

When soldiers yesterday searched Wanna's family home in the southern province of Phang Nha province, a family member contacted her via the Line chat app at their request, according to a neighbor. She reportedly responded that she was in Turkey. Her family said they hadn't seen her in three months.

The neighbor, who asked to not be identified by the media, said Wanna is being used as a scapegoat.

That was the 2014 translation, in 2015 it translates into talking turkey.
