A deliberate bombing has been suggested, it's speculation up until now though.

It's at a popular shrine right slap bang in the city centre. If it was deliberate then they were aiming for maximum damage.

Yeah, we're just fine thanks. It's in another part of a big city. The biggest impact it's likely to have on us directly is our daughter not going to school tomorrow.

Never thought Thailand had any problem with terrorists.

At a guess, I'd say it's likely to be political.

But then thousands have died in the last few years due to terrorism from Islamic insurgents in the South. It's a real problem that doesn't get much news-time for whatever reason. There's always a fear that they could up their efforts and start hitting Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket etc.
