Will there be more reward money for police doing their jobs catching this guy or has that already been all used?

Somyat should give a few more million baht of his personal money for this arrest. But the arresting police were Cambodians so the position will probably be "F" em.

If this is the bomber then the soldiers should get the 3 million Baht reward. The reward was for capturing the bomber not his associates. Can you see the police giving it back to be forwarded onto the soldiers?

well the fact that they caught a guy in another country adds some credibility to the capture

if it was a scapegoat type of deal, i think the Thai police would just pick an easier target, one that is inside the country and probably only 5 minutes from them

(less time for them to travel :)

Why blank out the face?

Not blanked out in other news reports, however this side profile pic (the unblanked one) of the man looks 100% like the CCTV images of the bomber.

According to another posters link to the Phnom Phen Post and articles in the BK post this man was arrested in Cambodia possibly at the airport in Phnom Phen.

A joint effort between Thai and Cambodian authorities after this man slipped into Cambodia at the said crossing.

This crossing is well known to Cambodian and Thai and many articles are published over corruption by border police and Uighurs.

It seems that this crossing is used by Uighurs to enter Thailand and obtain false passports to go on to Turkey.

According to the Phnom Phen post a retired Thai policeman was caught trying to smuggle Uighurs in his pick up a while back.

It is also reported that Uighurs were mistreated and Jailed and tortured and deported to China from this port, after which Chinese officials visited Cambodia and signed contracts and loans to Cambodia.

The man had quite a lot of luggage with him and a Chinese passport from the Chinese Uighur community area ,he was attempting to travel to turkey.

Thai police have taken selfies of the mans luggage with no regard to preserving forensic evidence.

Lots of misinformation going on from Thai authorities who it now looks like new about the people smuggling from this port, and are indirectly responsable for a revenge attack by deporting Uighurs to China who were probably executed.

How else do you interpret Thai police as saying this was not a terrorist attack just revenge?

This man was arrested by Cambodians and handed over to Thai and then arrested at the border crossing.

Did they Share Thaksins son's reward money?

PS have a read of the Phnom Phen Press, a intersting article about the arrest and deporting from Cambodia of Uighers 2009 in which a man named as Yussuf texted a news person while being held by Cambodian authorities before being deported to China, some were executed and som got 5 years 9+5 = 14 could some of these men have been released and got back into LOS because they sure had big chips on their shoulders.

So how much lost face about who arrested who and who helped themselves to the reward??

The immigration officers should be jailed for dereliction of duty and aiding bombers and human trafficking. Not simply transfered. They have put at all at risk because of their greed for money. Thainess
