A deliberate bombing has been suggested, it's speculation up until now though. Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: Flashheart on Monday, August 17, 2015, 12:52:00 It's at a popular shrine right slap bang in the city centre. If it was deliberate then they were aiming for maximum damage.
Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: Flashheart on Monday, August 17, 2015, 13:14:02 Police have confirmed it was an IED and have apparently found a second.
There ain't 'alf some vile cunts about. Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: suttonred on Monday, August 17, 2015, 15:33:30 Is it near Siam Square?
Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: Flashheart on Monday, August 17, 2015, 15:46:17 About a 10 minute walk away.
Title: Re: Post by: Honkytonk on Monday, August 17, 2015, 17:17:35 Just hope you and yours are all alright FH!
Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: Flashheart on Monday, August 17, 2015, 17:24:49 Yeah, we're just fine thanks. It's in another part of a big city. The biggest impact it's likely to have on us directly is our daughter not going to school tomorrow.
Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: Skinny Pete on Monday, August 17, 2015, 17:30:25 Never thought Thailand had any problem with terrorists.
Know they like the odd coup now and again Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: Flashheart on Monday, August 17, 2015, 17:36:13 At a guess, I'd say it's likely to be political.
But then thousands have died in the last few years due to terrorism from Islamic insurgents in the South. It's a real problem that doesn't get much news-time for whatever reason. There's always a fear that they could up their efforts and start hitting Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket etc. Title: Re: Bangkok explosion Post by: Skinny Pete on Monday, August 17, 2015, 17:39:53 Suppose nowhere on earth is safe these days
