Bomb blast in Bangkok

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

I can't link it without sign in.

i didn't have to sign in,
juts wait for it to start
it shows the guy in my photo above entering the area, taking off his backpack, getting out his phone an leaving quickly

but he has a 15 hour head start, could be anywhere by now
It doesn't work for me. If he doesn't depart from Thailand yet, he might be caught or 3rd bombing?

Video footage has emerged of a man police want to question in connection with a bomb blast in the Thai capital Bangkok on Monday.

The footage, from a CCTV camera, shows a man in a yellow shirt leaving a backpack in the Erawan Hindu shrine.

At least 20 people died in the explosion, including eight foreigners, and scores were injured.

In a separate attack on Tuesday, an explosive device was thrown from a pier in Bangkok but no-one was hurt.

Authorities had already released still images of the man in the yellow shirt, who is wanted for questioning.

In the new footage, the suspect is shown carefully and deliberately removing his backpack inside the shrine, getting up without it and immediately leaving the scene.

However, officials caution that the perpetrators have not yet been identified.

Chuwit ( the massage parlor king) that ran for election on his own, had his court date and was found guilty of mass corruption, was told to be back in 2 months for sentencing, they told him expect jail time

Thaksin was just stripped of his police rank
pubic getting tired of new government with no election in sight
1st step; discredit the goverment,
2nd step; call for demonstrations
3rd; army will be forced to shut it down

civil unrest,,,,,, anarchy
I think this is actually spot on or very close to what's happening / the projected outcome.
