Bangkok bomb: Explosion close to Erawan shrine kills at least 12 people

8:06 AM











4.42
There are reports that among the casualties could be foreign tourists. Some media reports suggest the death toll has reached 15 but this is unconfirmed.
Although we are not yet aware of the details of the attack, no group or individual has claimed it.
The bomb exploded at the Ratchaprasong intersection in a busy shopping district and close to the Erawan Shrine, a popular tourist attraction, Oliver Smith reports.
Several major hotel chains have branches in the vicinity, including Holiday Inn, InterContinental, Renaissance and Grand Hyatt. Lumphini Park, Bangkok’s only bit of green space, lies a few blocks to the south.
