I'm staying in Bangkok right now about fifteen minutes from where it happened. Lots of theories floating around with people blaming it on the anti government protesters, Muslim separatists, etc. I don't think anyone really knows at this point.
The shrine itself has a weird history, it was built about half a century ago because according to Buddhist teachings the building had bad karma. Then a few years ago some crazy person destroyed the statue at the center of the shrine with a hammer before being beaten to death by bystanders.

I'd been looking at hotels to stay in around this area. Scary!

This is security camera video they released, allegedly showing the guy who planted the bomb (in yellow shirt)
- Maybe because it's low-res, but this looks like a white guy with dark blonde or light brown hair.Continuity

Second Bangkok blast targets foot bridge.
Anyone know what the fuck is going on?
Did they find that fuck in yellow?

The fact that he's wearing a yellow shirt makes me suspect that he's a redshirt....or some one/group with a shared interest...
