Phuket and Krabi Neutralize Bomb Threats

Swift Action by Bomb Squads

Devices Safely Destroyed

Police bomb disposal teams in Phuket and Krabi acted decisively on Thursday, neutralizing suspected explosive devices in key tourist areas. In Phuket, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units targeted objects at Patong Beach and Promthep Cape, while Krabi authorities defused a device near a traffic police booth. These operations followed the arrest of two suspects linked to a suspicious motorcycle at Phuket International Airport, ensuring no harm to residents or visitors.

Patong Beach Operation

Disarming with Precision

At 11am, Phuket’s EOD team responded to a suspicious object found 200 meters from Dolphin Park on Patong Beach. Using a high-pressure water cannon, officers disabled potential detonation circuits, securing the area with cordons to protect tourists. The swift response prevented disruption in the bustling beach area, maintaining calm while forensic teams began analyzing the device’s remnants for further clues.

Promthep Cape Discovery

Hidden Threat Uncovered

Later that day, EOD units located another device embedded in concrete near Promthep Cape’s sunset viewing area in Phuket’s Muang district. The object, concealed in a low-traffic zone, was safely destroyed. Initial assessments suggest it was designed to create noise rather than destruction, aligning with the theory that the devices aimed to spark fear among tourists rather than cause physical harm.

Krabi’s Timely Response

Defusing a Roadside Threat

In Krabi, a midday alert led to the discovery of an improvised time bomb at the Mahad wood sculpture on Uttarakit Road, just 30 meters from a police booth. EOD officers successfully neutralized the device, noting similarities in its timing mechanism to those linked to the Phuket suspects. A suspicious motorcycle at Krabi’s central mosque is under investigation, with authorities preparing for a thorough inspection.

Suspects’ Confessions Guide Efforts

Four Devices Revealed

The operations were triggered by confessions from two suspects, aged 27 and 29, arrested in Phang Nga on Tuesday with explosive devices in their vehicle. Transferred to Yala for questioning, they admitted to planting four devices across Phuket: one in a motorcycle near the airport, two at Patong Beach, and one at Promthep Cape. Authorities have neutralized all identified devices, though two accomplices remain at large.

Reassuring the Public

Safety Measures Strengthened

Phuket’s governor reassured residents and tourists that the situation is under control, emphasizing that the devices were likely intended to cause panic, not harm. Enhanced security protocols, including screenings for all entering Phuket, aim to restore confidence. Authorities are urging the public to report suspicious objects, while ongoing investigations explore potential links to prior incidents involving firearms in the region.
