samjaidee Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Do any police spokespersons in Thailand have any idea at all of what the truth is? How do they know whether or not they're still in the country? What is their definition of "closing in on them"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Are these the Hua Hin bombers? Image: Kulsawek Sawekwannakorn HUA HIN:-- Pictures from CCTV have appeared online that claim to be those of three Hua Hin bombers. The pictures show three young men casually dressed with backpacks and baseball caps walking in the area of the Chatchai Market at the end of last week. They appeared on the Facebook page of journalist Kulsawek Sawekwannakorn who provided the following information in hopes of catching the three. He said they had got in a Prachuap to Phetchaburi minivan and had got out on the highway and entered a gas station in the Ron Thongchai area where they had changed clothes. They had then had a coffee at a branch of Amazon at the gas station before getting on a Prachuap to Chumpon minivan heading south. They are then believed to have crossed the border into a neighbouring country. The report asked for online uses to call 191 if they have information about the three men. Thousands were sharing the pictures. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2016-08-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeklong Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The man in the center of the police image is dressed the same as the man on the right above. White T-shirt, blue jeans with a hole at the left knee, black cap with white lettering. Comparing the other two men in the pictures, the man on the left has a black-sided cap same as the police picture, and the man in the middle has the same color pattern on his shoes, with both men having the matching color of their pants in both sets of pictures. The authorities probably have better pictures than the one they released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 With the recent passage of the new referendum, the government has seized even more power, and established a greater degree of censorship. Will we ever know the truth here? Will we ever know if the men they arrest are the real perpetrators? Will we see "Dark Tao" style justice again? Will this government ever be honest with it's people?

Wilsonandson Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Why don't the police release the cctv video? Again, everything is taking too long. It's nearly a week old this bombing and still no concrete leads. It seems to me that the authorities are trying to slow down the progress in solving this case. The longer the bombings go unsolved the more people think conspiracy theories. On such an important day and with tourists targeted you'd think that every cop on the beat would be looking for clues. Nope, brushed under the carpet like the Earwin Shrine bombing. All to deny that terrorism is alive and kicking in Thailands tourist areas. Money number 1.

balo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Can we please keep this thread clean and no silly comments about how bad Thailand is. The suspects clearly looks like locals to me. Wearing caps and a backpack is not something locals normally would do , so they tried to blend in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"... the recent passage of the new referendum." What? The referendum (it wasn't a 'new' one) was a vote regarding the new constitution, referendums don't get passed or go though a passage. The government has no more power today than it did the day before the referendum neither has it imposed greater censorship. What is "Dark Tao" justice?
