Bomb Blasts in Central Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand. February 15, 2012. I awoke this morning to the news that three bomb blasts had occurred in a residential area of Bangkok, not too far from my condo. Three Iranian terrorists were involved. It appears that the explosions were premature and that the terrorists had other targets in mind. Unfortunately, with its emphasis on welcoming tourists in ever greater numbers, anyone with a passport can come into Thailand and overstay without much fear of being caught. I’m watching this story with personal interest.
