Flashermac Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 The Thai police have peculiar pastimes. What else do they make besides bombs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Does all this help Thaksin with his asylum in the UK? Look, you can't expect to go back to a country where they run riot and want me dead, or similar along those lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi guys, This is messed up. I just got back from Bangkok yesterday. I went to Down Under on the Friday, but I was a little late for the meeting... Had a nice time on Koh Chang though. I dunno. Cops firing bombs at people? Car bombs? Crazy...

John Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Im not too sure that the Police were throwing home made explosives. However, if you are carrying unstable home made explosive devices (blast bombs) in your trouser cargo pockets, and they go off because you start running from a barrage of tear gas, then they just might cause the injuries we have seen. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
