The Royal Thai Government has made an official announcement following the recent sporadic bombings in the country, saying security is being beefed up and urging people to rest assured of their safety.
According to a press release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government has expressed its profound regrets for a series of explosions that took place in certain provinces on August 11 and 12, leaving 4 people dead and 34 injured. It condemns the perpetrators of the crimes and sends heart-felt condolences to families that have lost their loved ones and the wounded. Relevant agencies have been assigned to assist, facilitate and compensate tourists who were affected by the incidents.
The announcement says the government has ordered security units in all areas to tighten their operations to prevent more incidents from happening, with an emphasis being placed on crowded areas, tourist attractions and important places. People are encouraged to be vigilant and closely monitor the situation.
The government confirms the recent incidents were not linked to terrorism but were likely results of attempts to instigate unrest in society. Investigations are currently underway to bring culprits to justice. Public members are asked to be confident in their safety as security operations are being urgently conducted to return the nation to its peaceful state. (NNT)
