"In Thailand, the Jewish population began to thrive ... with the arrival of Jews from... Iran.

"Numerous Israeli families also immigrated to Thailand during the 1970s...

The suspect in the Yellow T-shirt spoke English.
"He did speak in English to the motorbike taxi driver who transported him from nearby the Erawan shrine - the site of the bombing - to his next destination in a soi (side-street) off business thoroughfare Silom road, a short ride of no more than 5 minutes...
"Another intriguing factor is how unscathed the Erawan shrine actually is (already re-opened for business, with huge crowds)."

Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, favoured by the CIA? - Vajiralongkorn and Thaksin
Thailand's king, 87-year-old Bhumibol, is in poor health.
His son and heir apparent, Maha, has reported business ties with the former prime minister Thaksin, who is reportedly favoured by the US government.
Thaksin
The USA has been critical of Thailand's current military government.
The U.S. has censured the military for the overthrow of the Thaksin government.
China lurks
"Thaksin has cultivated Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, by paying off his debts and providing a luxurious new house in Bangkok.
"Maha Vajiralongkorn has preferred to spend time in Munich with his favorite consort, rather than with his official wife and children in Thailand, and has kept a succession of air hostesses as his mistresses.

The Bangkok bombings may be related to Thailand's growing frienship with China and Russia.
In April 2015, Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev visited Thailand to boost ties.
Thailand has increased joint air and marine exercises with China.
China has reportedly sought access to Thailand's Sattahip naval base.
China has become Thailand's largest trading partner.
Thailand has joined China's Maritime Silk Road initiative and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
America's alliance with Thailand is in trouble.
China lurks
"Whoever made carried out these attacks has played into the hands of the hawkish Thai military government, regardless of the intentions.
"It potentially delivers them the justification for harsher security measures or, even worse, a reason to somehow remain even more of an influential power stakeholder in the near distant future, thanks to political changes being undertaken since the coup."

On 17 August 2015, bombs hit a tourist area in Bangkok, killing at least 27 people.
Bangkok bombs
Most of those injured were tourists from China and Taiwan.
"The perpetrators intended to destroy the economy and tourism because the incident occurred in the heart of the tourism district," Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said.
The bombs went off near the Erawan shrine, a tourist attraction.
The army has ruled Thailand since May 2014, when it ousted the elected government after months of anti-government protests.
"Security sources said the incident was believed to be politically motivated, and may involve the move to strip former PM Thaksin Shinawatra of his police rank, the draft charter, the looming military reshuffle, and the spillover from unrest in the deep South."

In Thailand, in 1980, one third of the rural population lived in absolute poverty.
This could mean one meal a day and no money to buy shoes or typhoid medicine.
In 1980, a child working 11 hours a day, in a workshop in Bangkok, would earn £36 per year!
Great for the Americans getting their cheap shoes and clothes made by child labour.

This ensured that the teenage Bhumibol became king.
And it ensured that pro-American Field Marshal Pibul became the power behind the throne.

Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck are most popular in the RED areas shown above.
Yingluck Shinawatra became Prime Minister in 2011 and was removed from power in 2014, as the result of a decision by the Constitutional Court.
In Thailand it has been the Red Shirts (supporters of the Shinawatra family) against the Yellow Shirts (traditionalists).
The big question is - does the CIA support the Red Shirts or the Yellow Shirts?
Or, does the CIA simply want to cause Libyan-style chaos?
Tony Cartalucci altthainews.blogspot.ca Destabilization and Breakup of Thailand?
Most Thais apparently do not support either the militant Yellows or the militant Reds.
The Economist gives us a clue as to what the CIA may be trying to achieve in Thailand.
The Economist recently suggested that we may see the Destabilization and Breakup of Thailand?
Yingluck Shinawatra's top people could flee to the north and set up a separate state.
Tony Cartalucci (altthainews.blogspot.ca) refers to the modern imperial agenda of divide and rule.
Chatham House corporate member Robert Amsterdam is currently representing Thaksin Shinawatra.
According to The Economist:
"Many red shirts say Bangkok is already lost."
Suthep Thaugsuban (above) has been the leader of the Yellows, the opposition to the Shinawatras.
Courts have ruled that he is responsible for deaths and injuries sustained by red-shirt protesters during the political unrest 2010.
He was also found responsible by a Court for the assassination of Italian journalist Fabio Polenghi, who was covering the 2010 protests.[13]

The blogger Tony Cartalucci is an opponent of the Shinawatras (the Reds)

He has written that Yingluck Shinawatra's government "bankrupted a disastrous vote-buying rice subsidy and has subsequently failed to pay rice farmers..."
He suggests that the Shinawatras are increasingly unpopular.

"The Thai 'civil war' Western analysts have long been predicting ... would most likely only materialize using the 'Syrian-model' of covert invasion combined with a coordinated propaganda campaign already being carried out by the Western media.
"Instead of Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and northern Iraq feeding militants into Syria, this new war would consist of Cambodia feeding militants and material in through northeast Thailand, with the resulting conflict appearing to be between 'Thaksin’s political stronghold' there and the rest of the country...
"Secession and 'civil war' in Thailand are impossible.
"Thailand is not divided. If anything, now more than ever it is united in purpose against an increasingly destructive, perpetually self-serving regime that has long since overstayed its welcome..."
