Lots of folks shown interested in this topic, not because of the news, may be, but because of some specific comments.

What do the signs :-( ( D.1.) and :-) ( D.3.) stand for ?

Any meaning ?

This the Thailand we can expect under the Puea Thaksin regime where corruption, greed and violence are being promoted.

At blobber. I'm not fishing even though I'm a pescetarian. Once again, I'm Thai and I'm very sophisticated, like many other Thais. At The Dark Side (is that a band?), I just knew that the world is round. I owe you one.

Cool out on sengsza folks, it is obvious sarcasm. Dark Side, you should know about 'people in glass houses should not cast stones'. '@D#12 sengsza. Your command of written English is poor at best.' Followed by 'More sophisticated then who?' The 'e' and 'a' key are not very close to each other but you should say 'More sophisticated thAn whoM?' Your welcome. Regardless, this is a horrible event.

"sophisticated" to drop a grenade in a festival? It's seems that #16 has forgotten some simpletons in his sad litany.

D#3 sengsza. More sophisticated then who? The Burmese? The Laos? The Cambodians? The rural Vietnamese? Your world is certainly very small. Are Thai's even aware that the world is round?

@D#12 sengsza. Your command of written English is poor at best. Go read your post if you doubt me. You should leave criticism to those that have clear knowledge.
