Up to Bt50,000 would be given to families who lost someone, with Bt20,000 for funeral rites and Bt30,000 compensation to those injured. The Tourism and Sports Ministry will provide more - Bt300,000 for deaths, organ damage or disability, and Bt100,000 for medical costs.

Flashermac Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 ... A motorcycle taxi driver said in a phone interview aired by Channel 3, a Thai TV station, that he had picked up a man matching the police description at a taxi stand a quarter of a mile from the shrine after the bomb exploded, The New York Times reported early Thursday. The driver, who gave his name as Kasem, said the man did not speak to him, just walked up and handed him a piece of paper with the words "Lumpini Park" written on it in English. Lumpini Park is a well-populated area in the commercial heart of Bangkok, about two-thirds of a mile from Erawan. "He had a conversation on the phone," Kasem said. "I don't know what the language is. I don't know, but it is surely not Thai nor English language." "I didn't see anyone at where I left him," he continued. "It was dark. There are some trees and it's hard to see." http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/662924/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
