The first explosion was at 07.05:XNUMX am in a yard in front of Building B of the Government Office Compound on Chaeng Wattana Rd. Another explosive device went off as police arrived to investigate the first explosion.

A second explosion occurred on a platform of BTS Skytrain station Chong Nonsi, damaging a safety glass panel. Exits 2 and 4 of the station are closed. The third explosion was in a remote spot on Soi Rama IX 57/1.

    Fortunately, only 3 people were injured (get well soon), but it will have a bad impact on tourism and therefore for the entire sector from street vendors to hotel owners.
    If the Baht gets a little stronger, no one will go to Thailand anymore, but that does not interest the bombers, they are probably already having a bad time and then that can also be added.

    Yes, they have already arrested 2 suspects, they are always so quick with that, well in my opinion that is just to show how "well" the police system functions, and to silence the general population about that there's really nothing wrong.

    The 2 suspects will undoubtedly appear on television with a whole platoon of senior police officers behind them, it is and remains a backward country in that respect.

    NRC this morning reported that a total of 6 bombs exploded, unfortunately 4 injured. https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/08/02/vier-gewonden-bij-bomexplosies-in-bangkok-a3968944

    I have already read messages on social media that Thaksin and the red shirts are behind this (claims General Apirat). And according to other Future Forward, because if you draw a line between the 3 places you get a triangle, just like the logo of Anakot Mai…. The Thais do have a sense of humor…

    Yes, I heard it on the radio early this morning, Great that Thailand blog responds so quickly and accurately. I thank them for the hard work and (almost) always standing by to keep the readers informed.

    My first thought was this must be the Chinese Muslim Uighurs again or it is a covert government action under false flag. These kinds of tricks have been done for a long time.
    That means you set fire to your own house or detonate some bombs and then say: look! see? there must be more control, more police, more army, higher penalties, a night clock, more TM30, etc. so push through a political agenda at all costs.
    .
    And this is (if it is so) a fairly harmless variant, but it has also often been used to start wars or invade countries, if you delve into it, your jaw will drop at what is already happening. has been concocted.
    For example, the Germans used a false flag action as an excuse to invade Poland, but the list of countries that use this is long, it is of course as criminal as it gets, but who will arrest the sheriff who carries a revolver?

    So folks we don't have to complain about TM30 forms or fingerprints anymore, here's proof it's necessary, all for your own safety 🙂 (wink wink notch notch)
    NB it will most likely be the Chinese Muslim Uighurs, but nothing can be ruled out today.
    I wish I could put my rose colored glasses back on that I used to wear in Thailand but times are changing and sadly not for the better.

    They're starting again, the redshirts, the oh-so-loyal Taksin followers.

      You are very well informed Luc, wouldn't it be better to wait and see
      until it is known who is behind it?

    It doesn't surprise me that suspects were arrested again quickly.
    After all, Thailand has the best functioning police system in the world, doesn't it?
    I don't believe that on the vague video images you couldn't even recognize the or one of the bombers.
    And so you can see that even with the TM 30 troubles, the bombs will continue to go off.
