We ordered Patong Police officers to look into the matter,” confirmed Phuket Provincial Police Commander Teerapol Thipjaroen.

Col Chaiwat Auikam of Patong Police consulted with the Explosive Ordinance Disposal, who confirmed that the objects were not explosives after all.

FireMedic Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Many times, bad guys can place devices like this to see the response time and reaction times of your emergency services.......they will just sit back and observe what you do. Then they can plan more effective attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
