Bomb blast in Bangkok

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Another bomb reported to have explode at Sathorn Pier. No I just sad it was tossed, rolled into the water and exploded under water.

What the hell is going on in Thailand.

Bomb tossed at Sathorn pier, no injuries

A bomb thrown at Bangkok’s Sathorn pier Tuesday but caused a explosion but no injuries or damage.

Witnesses reported that an explosive device was hurled at approximately 1.20pm from the Sathorn bridge near a parking lot for pickup truck taxis, bounced into the water and exploded there.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The pier remains open.

Thank you for sharing. I think it was the area I visited at my first trip. We can walk from Big C super market to the Sky train by passing those places.

MY take and possibilities;/scenarios.

Chuwit ( the massage parlor king) that ran for election on his own, had his court date and was found guilty of mass corruption, was told to be back in 2 months for sentencing, they told him expect jail time

Thaksin was just stripped of his police rank
pubic getting tired of new government with no election in sight
1st step; discredit the goverment,
2nd step; call for demonstrations
3rd; army will be forced to shut it down

civil unrest,,,,,, anarchy
