SURVEY: Who is behind the bombings?

[Time Traveller]

Possibly the government creating a false flag event to justify their draconian laws and crackdowns

Cliff Richard.

The poll is missing one obvious option, although it is understood why TV might not want to publish that option.

The Flat Earth Society?

Israel, well they get the blame for most things 

Yes there is a hard core element out there that blame the Jews for everything. Somewhat doubt every Jew is privy to some world dominion plot, probably more concerned with putting food on the table. For those that go down that road, seems there are plenty of Anglo elites out there as well.

[MockingJay]

Trump! 

[brucegoniners]

Kind of a general question, isn't it?

 

I think Thaksin is behind it.  It's obvious.

[Ricardo]

Clearly Lord Lucan, riding Shergar.

It's kind of annoying when there are terrorist attacks and the forces behind them don't even take credit.

 

It would make the job of the separatist groups of the South so much easier if the Thai state would just tear itself apart in a frenzy of accusation, reprisal, internment and ultimately, civil war.

 

Claim responsibility and demonstrate the impotence of the state?  Or don't claim, knowing that the dysfunctional state will not be able to resist the temptation to use the incident as a pretext to fabricate more rope for itself?

I guess that it's the man that many of my Thai friends call the smartest Thai man alive... as they say; he is smart but he only think about him self not about the rest of Thailand. He is not even living in Thailand at the moment...

Bombs after the constitution - Thailand's latest whodunnit

A Panel Discussion

Last week started on a high note for the government when Thailand's controversial 20th constitution won sufficient public approval to go forward, paving the way for elections next year. It ended on a decidedly sour note with a spate of small bombs and arson attacks on Mother's Day clearly timed to spoil celebrations on all fronts -- including the 84th birthday of HM Queen Sirikit. 

 

The bombing of a number of popular resorts was obviously bad news for Thailand's tourism industry, which has recovered well from the political setbacks of 2014, and was on course for a record year. Thailand has shrugged off similar episodes in the past. Will it soon be back to business as usual, or did something more fundamental shift last week?
