rooster59 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Seven huge oil tanks found in the compound of Wat Dhammakaya Officials of the Department of Special Investigation on Friday impounded seven oil tanks of 20,000 litre each in the backyard of Wat Dhammakaya. Acting on a tipoff about the suspicious presence of the seven oil tanks which were covered by plastic sheets, DSI officials rushed to the backyard of the temple to investigate.

SoFarAndNear Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) My guess is that these are for the backup power generators. They were prepared in case police shutdown the electricity. Edited February 18, 2017 by SoFarAndNear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahjongguy Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 You have to look at Google Earth to appreciate how big this place is. The temple property plus the foundation property add up to around 2 square miles. Any operation that big, and with such deep pockets, would have a lot of diesel backup power just for ordinary outages. Handy for sieges too.

whatawonderfulday Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Perhaps they should do a spectrographic examination of the oil and find out where it originated from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf99 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The more I read and see about this country and the different madcap groups the more I realise that they must be all related to the Oozlum Bird. One day there will be a loud pop and the rest of mankind will be standing there wondering where the whole place has gone......which might be a starting point for finding this Abbot ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oozlum_bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjaak327 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Wow, they found oil ! Diversion tactic, they were searching for a monk, and since that person wasn't found, they are happy to report they did find some oil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump read about this he would say something like, 'I didn't know there was any oil in Taiwan'. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I am not sure that this is the case here, but the illegal smuggling of fuel oil is often used by the insurgents in the Southern Thai provinces ais one method to raise funds for insurgents. This is well known to the police as a method used in the past by insurgents. Just for info to readers who might wonder what 'Oil Tanks' might be doing in a Temple compound area.

You seem to be forgetting about the (allegedly) illegal water wells found on the property a few weeks back when this round of raids started. Or maybe it was the last round of raids. It's hard to keep track of them all. Edited February 26, 2017 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be right as long as they are small and you dont live near the southern border. If so you may be charged with having bomb making equipment in your possession.
