... "Everything is under control." -- Minister Chalerm
... "I guarantee your safety." -- Yingluck
... while relatively few victims, it is due to nothing the widely respected Royal Thai Police did... an incompetent bomber saved more lives than the Royal Thai Police.
... I know I feel much better about trusting anything uttered by a Royal Thai Anything.

Iran again. They have clearly targeted Thailand as the weakest link in SE Asia. Understandably so. How many more teams lurking?
This seems to be specifically connected to scientists being assassinated in Tehran. If Israel or US bombs Iran to stop their nukes then the campaign will really begin. Danger period according to Leon Panetta is April-June 2012.
Thus far they seem actually surprisingly incompetent. Hope it stays that way.

... "Thitima told CNN that Thai intelligence agencies don't think the incident was an act of terror because it was carried out in a sporadic way. But, she said, police think that the men may have been selling weapons and drugs." -- excerpt CNN article.
... Thitima is Thai Government House's official spokesperson.
... watching how the internationally respected Royal Thai Police again deny any terror activity in Thailand should make for amusing reading tomorrow... watch for it.

There is 20 pages plus of posts on Thai Visa about this,
Seems the guy was making bombs in his house and something went wrong,
there are 3 bombs that blew up, one at his house, one near the Taxi and one at Suk and Soi 71 near the school.
The school was probably not the target, the bomber panicked when he say the cop and threw the last bomb at the police, and it bounced back at him !
There is much more to this story, like how many people lived in the house etc.
There are many Muslims in that area, my Thai friend has a shop off Soi 71 that I have gone to many times.

I wonder where he was heading if the taxi had picked him up instead of refusing him a ride?

His House / Workshop blew up so I think he was just getting the hell out of the area,
what happened was not the plan, it was just what happened during his escape.

But what was the target if things went as planned ?????

From the Nation:
Blasts rattle Bangkok
An Iranian man was badly injured and a second Iranian was arrested after a series of grenade attacks caused panic in the capital and left five bystanders injured yesterday.
An Iranian man was badly injured and second Iranian was arrested after a series of grenade attacks that caused panic in the capital and left five bystanders injured yesterday.
A senior official denied any links to terrorism, but police have yet to rule on whether the blasts were part of a terrorist attack, or if they had anything to do with last month's arrest of a Lebanese man with Swedish nationality in an alleged bomb plot.
"So far, we haven't found any links between these two cases," senior police commander Pol General Pansiri Prapawat said.
In related news, the British Embassy in Bangkok issued a travel advisory within hours of the explosions, the first one of which took place at 2pm at a house rented by three Iranians. Police said that after the first explosion, the three men ran from the house, and one of them, initially identified as Saeid Moradi, tried to hail a taxi. When the taxi did not stop to pick him up, he threw a grenade at it, only to have the grenade bounce back and explode, severing his legs. In addition, shrapnel wounded five adult passers-by, but did not harm any students at nearby Kasem Phitthaya School.
Police officers provided conflicting reports about the location and sequence of events. Khlong Tan police chief Pol Colonel Sitthipharb Baiprasert said Moradi ran to the front of a school and aimed a grenade at police officers, but ended up bearing the brunt of the blast himself. However, deputy Bangkok police chief Pol Maj-General Phisit Phisutthisak said the suspect threw the grenade at a taxicab.
Another senior commander, Pol Maj-General Wichai Sangpraphai, was quoted by deputy secretary-general to the PM Thitima Chaisang as saying the suspect was not injured by the grenade he threw at the taxi, but lost one leg and badly injured another when a second grenade aimed at a police vehicle exploded.
A report in the Thai-language Manager website said the suspect tried to slit his own throat with a sharp piece of glass, but was stopped by police.
Doctors at Chulalongkorn Hospital said the suspect had lost his right leg and sustained injuries to an eye and abdomen. They have also had to amputate his left leg. "He has serious wounds but he should survive," deputy director Dr Ratthaphlee Phak-at said.
Police later said they arrested Mohammad Hazaei, 42, one of the Iranian men, at Suvarnabhumi Airport as he was about to board a flight to Kuala Lumpur. He is under interrogation. The third man remains at large.
A search at the rented house turned up an unspecified amount of C-4 explosive and some home-made bombs, Bangkok police chief Pol Lt-General Winai Thongsong said.
In Moradi's backpack, police found clothing; receipts issued to a Yasef Moradi by a hotel in Pattaya; Bt8,500 and US$2,800 in cash; and a large amount of cash in Iranian currency.
Thitima denied the incidents were acts of terrorism, saying: "This is not sabotage or related to the travel advisories issued [after last month's terrorism scare] by many countries. Police now know where the [suspect is].
"Intelligence analysis said [the suspects] were arguing with one another, and the incidents are being treated as normal crimes."
Foreign Ministry spokesman Thanee Thongphakdee said an official conclusion on the incidents would be made soon to determine the specific nature of the crimes. "Don't jump to the conclusion that it was an act of terrorism," he said.
A briefing by the National Security Council will be held at 9am today at Government House.
Thitima said Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra had instructed the Foreign Ministry to contact the Iranian Embassy to discuss the issue and obtain details about the three men.
Police last month arrested Atris Hussein, a Lebanese man with Swedish nationality whom they said had ties with Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed group based in Lebanon, and suggested he might have been involved in setting up a terror plot in Thailand. Hezbollah later denied links with Hussein.
Taxi driver Sanchai Bunsoongnern said the suspect had tried many times to hail a taxi but none stopped. "He threw a grenade at me. It dropped on the hood, fell on the road and rolled underneath my taxi, and went off. I stopped and helped to chase him," he said.
"A police car then showed up, before the suspect took something out of his pocket, followed by a loud bang, severing his legs. I was 15 metres away from the second blast, and suffered no injuries, but my ears are ringing."

From the Nation:
pretty confusing story.....I looked on google map and its 2.5km from the house area to Sukhumvit / Soi 71, so did the bomber run all this way or ??????
And was he "only" throwing grenades at the taxi and at the police in front of the school ? What about the bombs from the house ?
Maybe we will never know, the Thai police will try and keep it quiet so the tourists are not scared off.
Never a dull day in BKK.....
