#1 The bomb squad also had problems with the robot, which did not function properly on that day. It was produced by Lanna Technical College in Chiang Mai and is not considered to be as efficient as imported ones.

Thailand isn't that a poor a country. Heck, even the Indonesian security services buy expensive American stuff. I suspect the bomb squad equipment budget went into some Thai official's Singaporean (East Asia's equivalent of Swiss) bank account.
