The finds -- which come after a string of blasts in Bangkok -- have raised further doubts over the speed at which emergency rule can be lifted in the Thai capital and prompted opposition accusations of a government conspiracy.

2 possibilities here but only 1 solution;
Possibility 1: Government/ Army is doing it to give them additional power under the emergency decree and to implicate reds
Possibility 2: The government is so hated that there will never be peace whilst they stay in power.
Solution: Have an election

Thais should love Thai but when greed comes in nobody love anybody. Money and power are the roots of all evil. Hopefully, no non-Thai is involved. Pray that peace will come back to the beautiful Thailand soon. May the City of Angels be protected by real angels.

Strange that they were all found. Tipped off? It would've been more realistic had they permitted one to go off.

I think this must be due to Emergency Decree almost expired so more bombs will be found until Emergency Decree be extended again. Seem someone is gaining big due to Emergency Decree action and didn't wanted to lost that money when Emergency ended....

Look at this cases happen now and then, We have never in our life in BKK ever have such Bombing around since the red shirts started their Mob until now.So we Majority can guest who is behind all these planting of BOMB trying to kill innocent peoples in shopping Mall.Since DSI has already caught 6 persons from the Red shirt who has planted the BOMB in Bhumjthai Party Head quarter and DSI must find out who is the leaders of those BOMB Maker and master mind. We Majority thai's don't want to see someone is being killed for nothing and need safety for our nation & country.We hope all thai's must share the same idealogy to despose those behind all these Bombing.We dont want thailand just like Iraq country and the whole country will be ruined by those thugs.

Details are important.
