Surreal: "what they have learned so far"

Step up security - a week after a bomb went off a few hundred metres up the road I was able to walk into Paragon with a large bag. Nobody checked it or even questioned me.

There is an idiot factor in this junta that surpasses any of the regimes I've lived under in this country over the past decade.

[clockman]

They are only concerned with tourists numbers. And T.A.T. Via the fortune teller provide those!

With 1700 generals, what else would one expect?

Are you an Arab or Chinese?

If you are the usual pinky from Europe with shorts, etc why would anyone suspect a bomb in your bag?

[DLock]

Perhaps you should focus on solving the Erawan bombing before your "Intelligence agencies" tell you "what they have learned so far" about Paris bombings...

...and it's not as if you don't have your own regular problem bombings down south that could do with some "intelligence" as well.

Or is that a bit too hard for you DPM Prawit?

[Reigntax]

Do they have intellegence agencies? Obviously no invitation for the RTP and the military so he must mean the black magician, the fortune teller and Thai nostradamus.

Of course they have intelligence agencies.

They were able to report that they'd learned Paris is in France; the Eiffel Tower is in Paris; and the French flag is colored red, white and blue. Not sure why it's called the "Tricolor" though, but hope to find out soon.

[soalbundy]

I'm surprised they could find anyone to man the agencies

[whatproblem]

Is the Thai intelligence agency the place where they look for signs of intelligence in the country,must be a hard job

[northernphil]

Did Prawit suggest sending a forensic team to France I wonder .

Why would they do that? Unless they bring some burmy with them to place the blame they will never find the bombers.

I thought he described it as blue, white and the unmentionable colour.

[Thai at Heart]

They could have an ISIS cell sitting in the centre of Bangkok right now and they wouldn't have a clue.

Oh so? I guess I wouldn't employ you to look after the dog house.

"What they have learned so far" - from the international press and media. I somehow suspect the French intelligence and security services are a bit too busy to be briefing the Thais!

[sgtsabai]

Intelligence agencies, is that an oxymoron? Why I do believe it is.

[torpedo1970]

And now we feels so much more safe......

[Srikcir]

All you fast and loose critics of the Prayut regime - calm down.

"Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwat held a meeting of intelligence agencies"

Surely this was a meeting with foreign intelligence agencies who are all actively involved in the Paris attack investigations. Nowhere are the agencies described as Thai agencies. But no doubt the Thai government must send a fact-finding group to Paris for several weeks to gather a better understanding of the attack.

Yes, if we presume they put their ' intelligence ' brief together from what they've heard and read in the international media did they add a cautionary heading that since nothing came from Thai sources it might not be accurate or trustworthy ?

So not many people showed up for this intelligence meeting then?

Maybe that's why no UFO has ever been spotted over Thailand.

Nothing worth studying really,

[waldroj]

A meeting of "intelligence" agencies in Thailand would be a very small and very short meeting. But that didn't stop a large gathering of Thai officials having a lengthy meeting.

Quick. Set up a police check point on Soi3, anyone on a motorbike not wearing a helmet must have a deathwish so must obviously be suspect

[Squeegee]

And for His next trick: oxymoronics!

Meet the new trick, same as the old trick....
