Four explosives went off almost simultaneously in Bangkok, injuring at least 20 people as the city people have just started to celebrate the New Year's eve.
One person was dead at the Big C supermarket, Sapan Kwai branch, where witness saw a man dropped a grenade from a pedestrian bridge, police said.
At least 20 were injured at the Victory Monument when a powerful bomb went off near a bus station.
At the Klong Toei area near the Na Ranong intersection, a bomb hidden in a trash can near a Chinese spirit shrine exploded and injured two bypassers. The explosion caused a secondary explosion to a number of cookinggas cylinders that were situated nearby.
At the Season Square Shopping Mall, a loud explosion went off at the parking space, creating a panic but no injury.
Local news (I live in Bangkok) is now reporting a total of 7 bombs went off.
"New Year's eve."
Going to be following explosions around the globe?
This is #1....
Must be those militant Unitarians.
One of the other bombs was at Sukumvit Soi 62.
Not the Buddhists...
Are there Quakers in Bangkok?
Maybe Episcopalians?
"Muslims celebrating the new year" ping
Any FReeper posting the sophomoric and trite "Thailand?" post after this notification is a dimwit. God Bless the decent, kind, and pro-American people of that beautiful country.

Is it possible to have a thread without the complete stupidity represented in your post?

Hmmm... could it be one of those Missouri Synod Lutherans?
What is so stupid about my post Mr. Einstein?
Senseless murders by the usual suspects,and still no acknowledgement that the world is at war with Islam.
Didn't they just have a military coup over there (by 'moderate' muslims) that was supposed to bring peace with the islamic guerillas??
(Channelling Doctor Phil: "How's that working for you?")
Because of stupid posts like this, I will no longer be posting any first hand information on this thread. I am living in Bangkok and watching this unfold on local news. You just lost your source. Have a nice New Years.
There are also top-notch medical facilities in Chiang-Mai should there be need for overflow for injured people. Airlifted patients could be there in under an hour. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good luck for the victims.
