That none of the newspapers or tv channels reporting the suspect in the Thai bombings case seem to have noticed, or reported, that he appears to have a gigantic pair of dishwashing gloves on? They've all duly reported the yellow t-shirt, shorts and sandals but noone's questioned what the cuff-like things on his arms are. At first I thought that they might be compression sleeves but they don't look like that. Then it occurred to me that they could be bi-colour rubber gloves and the darker bit just blends in and looks like a regular hand but the lighter bits really pop out. Why wouldn't this get noticed?

People in Asia wear arm covers that aren't attached to their tops for various reasons. It is not unusual.

I've seen girls wear long arm covers with those cutsie Japanese style baby doll dresses but they tend to be much longer (like sleeves) and don't open out just below the elbow like that.
