How do you "plant" a bomb in a flower pot (2) without anybody noticing?

In Thailand, no one noticed anything, see anything, only concerned to take selfies.

Martial law in the south could make a difference. Mass arrests of Muslims, interrogation, prosecution, detention, courts, jail/capital punishment and/or expulsion, confiscation of anything of value including real estate for the payment to the victims of the crime committed by them, etc. Definitely army involvement in decisive way. 

Violence begets violence as the world at large is now having to come to terms with As far as the south of Thailand is concerned there can only ever be one permanent peaceful solution

That means the area and the majority of the local population need to be returned to where it and they rightfully belong

"Coincidence" that it comes straight after the foreigners to be tracked by SIM card announcement.

Absolutely shocking ...Thai authorities can not dismiss three bombs in such a short period .

Cover ups won't do either.

More bombs mean .....high season is gone.

This is what happens when military take over and gaol people .

Civil unrest.

I fear this is the tip of the iceberg ...

 

 

And we will hear of much more horror in this junta run nation yet.

Oh so you think the red shirts did it and should be rewarded for their killing of people by the junta stepping down ?

Funny that their supporters are now thinking they did it while i think they did not 

 

I bet you and alive would love it if it was an armed revolt the two of you can shake hands.

I would advice people considering a holiday there to perhaps choose some other safer destination until military rule ends there.

Just minutes after I predicted more .....

 

This could be the first salvos the beginning of a civil war .

Be careful all folks within the country .

 

And those going please keep yourself aware of developments 

[Familyaffairs]

Some group is deliberately trying to derail tourism; first Trang 2 days ago, then fake bomb alerts for Patong yesterday, 2 explosions in Hua Hin, and now, as yet unreported in English language media, in Surat Thani (home to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan)

Just read this in a newspaper:

'A local resident told police that he saw two foreigners riding a motorcycle around the area shortly before the two bombs went off. Police have checked footage from security cameras and saw the two men riding a motorcycle before the explosions happened.'

If I were a Burmese worker in the area, I would know what to do...

 

I would already have done it

I thought registering all our phones  ( and turning off all phones that didnt register ) was a way to safeguard against remote detonations...

God , dont tell me the bombers called long distance ???

That could be expensive !

yes they would be extremely mindful of roaming charges when setting off a bomb using a foreign sim

[Plutojames88]

It is clear now it's a war .

Bombs going off everywhere on a particular day?

Damn foriegners! Have you ever noticed how these bombs always go off where the foriegners are?

Dont worry the new compulsory SIM card tracking on all foriegn tourists will keep you safe.

Some times one looks at these posts--and wonders if the contributor lives in a bubble that just surrounds his bar....IN THE LAST FEW YEARS  2004" More than 6,500 people, including Buddhist monks, teachers, troops and separatist insurgents have been killed . NO TOURISTS

**Reuters**

[GreasyFingers]

My sympathies are with the dead and injured but if you were out for a night's drinking/entertainment and a bomb went off 50 metres away (as reported) wouldn't you think it was time to go home just in case there was another one.

No it is not a war. 

 

It is a series of terrorist incident ,perpetrators as yet unknown and intentions or motives unknown.

 

If I had to hazard a guess I would suspect it spills over from the south - but it is purely a guess.

The bomb was probably supposed to go of some other time, but a spam call came through, the telco trying to sell you a new ringtone.

[Plutojames88]

Hearing five more bomb explosions today .....can anyone confirm .?

Everywhere people are wondering what's going on ...

What's the authorities doing?

I take it you're ignoring that tourists were killed at Erawan shrine.

The other one might be on your route home. You just can't tell. There is really nothing you can do, unfortunately.

Oh he is just one of the guys that support your side who is waiting for war.. just like alive they seem to want war. They seem to relish in the idea of the reds planting bombs. Now that does say something about the red supporters. (not all of course)

[smedly]

whoever is responsible it would appear that the gloves are now well and truly off

 

be careful out there

 

The first 35 years of my life were very familiar with bombs going off, I hope this is not the start of something here

 

The authorities need to get a handle on this very quickly
