Originally planned to be in Bangkok today and Erawan Shrine at the time the bomb exploded. I will still be going to the Shrine tomorrow if it's not closed.

I believe I opted for flight from CNX to BKK today because of the price difference. I wanted to be in Bangkok on Monday so that I could have more time to settle my banking stuff.

Apparently news reports are saying about second bomb was right inside the shrine.

I was there a few days ago & was walking above the Erawan Shrine on the skywalk, on the way to Gaysorn Mall.
Will be there again next week.

I heard it's more likely got to do with the new appointment of top military and police.

Why am I not surprised!
