lungnorm Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I remember a few months ago intelligence reported up to about 20 middle eastern/Turkish etc had entered Thailand and this was promptly denied by Thai authorities. Seems like they have got themselves organised and are setting off all these bombs. Makes one wonder how many more before they get rounded up.

Winniedapu Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I see some anti-junta worthies are getting flak, that's not right. Please lay off the personal insults people, if this is a problem, it won't depend on what colour you are or whether you think Mr Prayuth is a saviour or just another Thai nutter, you'll still be vulnerable, especially since Thais will always try to blame foreigners for everything that goes wrong in their country, and saying you love Mr Prayuth won't help you if they do. Discussion is facilitated by the expression of opinion, and none of the junta-huggers are immune from the odium of their previous posts any more than the anti-junta-ites are. So let's keep it civil, we're all compatriots in a way, and an organised conflict would affect all of our security and well-being.

I realise the Psychology of civil war disturbs many. But we can only observe and not be too dismissive. The idea it's alarmist is perhaps in contrast to junta dismissing now 6 blasts in a short time frame. Yes I envisioned Civil war perhaps by 2020 ...this might be an early warning sign .( nothing more) Or a prelude .? lets hope it's not the Fat lady singing and our fears realised .

According to one source there were a lot of noise in the street so they did not hear the first bomb , maybe the police were not alarmed by it until the 2nd bomb went off.

This type of attack is the hardest to stop. No frontal assault just leave explosives and trigger when a crowd is close. Even CCTV is not much good as they have no doubt covered their faces if they are smart. I figure its a backlash against the referendum. Sneak in sneak out. Easier to than any form of outright guerrilla action. These hit and run attacks can last forever unless they get out the silver tray and pile it high with 1,000 baht notes.

No need to troll you, dude. This is your original post within minutes of the story going live. Quote Will the truth come out or does the spin start to protect the tourist industry ? Right off the bat you went to cynicism rather than displaying any sort of empathy. And then when I pointed out the knee-jerk Thai bashing and lack of empathy that was already starting you said Quote I agree it's tragic and compassion for the deceased and injured is necessary and most appropriate but that must come from the authorities too without a cover up to protect vested interests. The victims deserve the truth. At that point they were still dealing with the aftermath but you jumped right to pre-accusing the cops of a cover up. Listen, we all know how things work in Thailand. Corruption and ineptitude are seemingly everywhere. But is it asking too much to hope that people's first reaction is, "That's horrible, my thoughts go out to the victims" rather than, "Cops will probably try to cover things up to protect the tourism industry"?
