Thai Police: IS militants not found in Thailand

[JoeLing]

I reckon if they are in Thailand, they must be hiding in those illegal gambling dens the police never finds ;-)

[elgordo38]

This could come back to bite him in the posterior.

[AlphMichaels]

I'd be willing to buy him a complimentary subscription to Bangkok Post and upgrade his home cable to at least Gold so he can get caught up on the news.

[kiwikeith]

Okay, you didn't find them so, obviously, there aren't any here.

According to the BK post they are here, front page today.

But they can't be terrorists

[kevc]

Does that mean they haven't found any foreigners wearing black balaclavas.

[Lingba]

well I feel safe now...Whew!..I was beginning to get worried

[worgeordie]

Must be hiding,but when they make their move ,we will all know.

regards Worgeordie, P.S. must not bad news get in the way of tourism.

[razer]

HaHaHaHa ... what can one say about the RTP?

[bark]

Thai Immigration: where you from ?

I'm from The Islamic State.

Thai Immigration: Why are you here ?

To Kill Russians.

Thai Immigration: Next.

[silent]

What to say?

How about it's encouraging that the terrorists aren't blatant about being obvious yet, or the same as I say to my wife? There's not much we can do about how stupid people can be thinking they know all they need to.

i loves the headlines on the news page, on the left of page we have "PHUKET on HIGH ALERT" and on right of page, police say "NO ISIS HERE" ha ha, does the left hand know what the right hand is doing.don't want to lose those tourists do they,, lol

[soistalker]

What he actually said when asked if ISIS was in Thailand is, "No have."

Then he put his hand up and shook it from side to side.

The major question , did Thai secret intelligence know that Russian operatives were watching ISIS go to Thailand , what are the Russians doing in Thailand as they state ISIS militants went off in separate pairs to tourist centres ,were the Russians spying on their own Expats or on holiday , did the US or its allies supply information about ISIS in Thailand , the important fact is if there is ISIS in Thailand it would prudent of the Junta to advise all in sundry of their presence , to pretend they are not in the country and Tourists do get killed or injured , you'll see a massive exit out of Thailand. None of these questions will be answered and it is possibly an elaborate hoax, however the ball is in Thailand's court.......................................

Awesomely quick work!

Question. Since his boss only knew about the leaked secret document sent by Russia maybe 2 days ago, how could you clear a country of all possible IS operators in a day?

Laughing this off may not go well for the government.

Question. Does anyone believe any government spokesman anymore (if one ever did)?

They're famous for being so quick! Look how quickly they caught brought to trial the 2 Burmese lads and with no ecidence!!! They gave themselves rewards even more quickly too....

[mercman24]

i see them walking up and down soi 4 most night, with not a care in the world lol !!

Obviously not here because there is still no bombing yet.

[Emster23]

The old "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" sprang to mind, along with George Clinton's line from Pfunk "From the lookin' comes the seein'"

Now THAT is funny!

The words "Thai", "secret" and "intellgence" all together in one sentence?

You're not a comedy writer by any chance are you?

Like IS have big signs that says they are IS? Come on give us a break. There again, if the police in Phuket put out a message for IS members to turn themselves in to the police and no one turned up then it can only mean one thing; there is no IS in Thailand

[Borzandy]

We can see on his face, it was only a Thai joke..

[connda]

Of course not. That would be bad for tourism. If you don't acknowledge them, then they aren't there!!!

[awayego]

That reminds me of the joke about nuns during the war, the punch line of which was

"Oh no! Mother Superior doesn't agree with that sort of thing!"

[Khun Paul]

Let me get this straight

1 The PM stated quite publically there were no IS in Thailand.

2. leaked Document alleging IS have arrived (10 )

3 Russian Consul in Phuket stated he warned the Thai police and others when he knew.

4 Everyone knew in October but seemed to neglect to tell anyone, we are NOW in DECEMBER

5 2 days after a media announcement the Royal Thai Police categorically state NO IS in Thailand

So we can therefore assume they have checked the credentials of every Muslim arriving in Thailand and those who currently reside here, ensured none of them are up to no good and all premises so habited by them all have been checked for explosives and other equipment designed to maim or kill.

If not then that latest statement is so much BS !!!

[gemguy]

Famous last words ....until ..Boom.

They would be better off to publically announce:

"The Royal Thai police will continue to take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of the citizens and foreign nationals alike while any cooperation and information from the public concerning ISIS issues will be taken seriously and dealt with accordingly"

Cheers

Yes sir....and that is how they commonly handle important matters in Thailand while their personal agendas commonly supersede the national agendas while they always claim they will deal with the issues ( Which they usually do.....sooner or later ) ......but usually at a leisurely pace relative to their personal agenda that supersedes national matters of grave importance.

The usual format.

Cheers

Trouble is the RTP are too used to Thai crooks going on the run and then getting fed up and turning themselves in. I dont think ISIS plan on doing that which is fortunate as they would probably be wearing hidden explosives in their Y fronts as usual. The first and last sight of their whereabouts is likely to be known at the same time and all thanks to letting them past border control somewhere.

[minikev]

Don't worry we can't find them!

How can they have checked them out if they dont know where they went. They have lost track of them because half the cameras dont work and the easy option was to just check border control and if there were not 10 muslims on the same plane coming in then they didnt.
