#2 I've lived here in Bangkok for almost 15 years now.

'No real idea of who planted the two small explosive devices. They were evidently amateurish, and neither designed nor placed to cause much damage or injury.

The local community that I frequent - both ex-pats and Thais - tend to default toward believing that this may have been a Thai (military) government "false flag" action, to give the governing junta a reasonable excuse to extend ongoing (albeit fairly benign) martial law.
