    But to whom else's posts are you going to reply with misspelt, mind-numbingly boring shite?

    One other thing I wanted to mention: Security.

    Despite two people being shot dead, and the PM vowing to "protect tourists", not one of the metal detectors at any of the entrances to Paragon were being used. Occasionally there was a security guard stood there nodding at everyone, but the things were beeping like mad and no-one gave a shit.

    There was an increased security presence on the BTS but I suspect that's a token effort in response to the Israel/Palestine punch up, given that they did have your actual radical extremist bombers on Sukhumvit a few years back.

    So apart from LV, it was absolutely business as usual.
    The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth

    What? I’ve never need to Siam Paragon? Or I’ve never been to an LV store? Does making up shit help you feel better about yourself?

    They were Iranian and it was down Thonglor/Ekamai way. Three in total, I think, and were carrying home made bombs. One exploded en route and when they were pursued by police and bystanders one of the three idiots threw a second bomb at them which bounced off a tree and flew back blowing him up. Very amusing all round. On reflection it was perhaps a typical day in downtown Bangkok in terms of the bizarre.

    it blew the pillocks legs off at the knees.

    there was a lovely picture posted here of him sitting on the kerbside staring down in confusion and shock trying to comprehend what had just happened as he waggled his bleeding stumps in the air wondering why he couldn't stand up.

    a more perfect example of karma would be hard to find.

    The death toll from last week’s shooting at Siam Paragon Mall in Bangkok rose to three on Friday when a 30-year-old Thai victim reportedly succumbed to her wounds.

    The news was reported by X (formerly Twitter) user @songdoubles, who said Penpiwan Mitthampitak died at around 2am in hospital.

    The post added that Penpiwan’s mother had expressed gratitude for the condolences and visits by well-wishers to her daughter’s bedside over the past 10 days.
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    One of their bombs went off in the house in which they were making it (as sybille says, in Soi 71), at which point they fled.

    I didn't realise until I checked that the three that were in custody were all released back to Iran in a strange "prisoner swap" in 2020.

    little more




    A woman injured in the Siam Paragon mass shooting on October 3rd died at about 2am this morning (Friday), having been in coma since she was admitted to a hospital 10 days ago.

    The passing of Penphiwan has brought the death toll in the shooting to three. The two others who were Chinese and Myanmar nationals. Five more were injured, including Penphiwan.

    According to an X post, by user “songdoubles” today, Penphiwan, aka “Noong Ning”, had been on life support since her admission, but her body had responded to medication.

    Unfortunately, she developed more infections, according to the post, which also noted that the parents of the suspected shooter had visited and apologised the victim’s mother last Saturday.

    Pol Maj-Gen Nakharin Sukhonthavit, commander of the 6th division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said they have already been informed of Penphiwan’s death by her family.
