Flashermac Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Something happened anyway ... not in the press yet, except for PBS in Thai. Apparently something that sounded like a bomb went off at 8.10pm between Siam Paragon and the BTS station. As of 10.20pm police and EOD were still investigating. http://news.thaipbs....ุหม้à¸à¹à¸›à¸¥à¸‡à¸£à¸°à¹€à¸šà¸´à¸” Nothing in the English language PBS yet.

Flashermac Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Two homemade bombs explode in front of Siam Paragon Two homemade bombs exploded in front of the Siam Paragon shopping mall Sunday night, police said.

Flashermac Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 A message to someone ... but from whom? "The two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were set on timers to explode at about 8pm, a peak time for shopping, entertainment and dining out in the Siam Square area. Despite this, Pol Lt Gen Prawut said the bombs 'were not intended to kill.'" ... "Pol Lt Gen Prawut claimed the motive of the attack was likely to create panic rather than take lives. He did not provide any details of the IEDs, but denied early reports that the bombs contained nails." http://www.bangkokpo...-bombs-homemade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yesterday afternoon, outside a large Toyota dealership, the electric wires and a nearby transformer were on fire! This was along the outer ring road, west side of the river, near Bang Kae. Huge gappers jam on the roads, both sides!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafan Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 "They are Asian men with moderate bodies wearing black and white caps... The Metropolitan Police Bureau is examining recordings and checking if they are the bombers," Pol Lt Gen Prawut said. But not Thai of course!!!
