I just received this e-mail from the US Embassy in Bangkok:

At approximately 8:10 pm on the evening of February 1, 2015, Thai authorities reported that two improvised explosive devices detonated in close proximity to the Siam Paragon Shopping Mall BTS entrance. Security personnel responded immediately to the scene to secure the area and began investigating the incident.

While traveling in Thailand, U.S. citizens are advised to remain vigilant and exercise caution, especially if in the vicinity of any large gatherings. Be alert and aware of your surroundings.

How big does a bomb have to be to stop surprising you? Has it occurred to you that the information presented is contradictory? That much of it follows word for word of each organization? That perhaps it's being played by the Thai Information Service for its own purpose?
The US Embassy thought it important enough to send out warnings...

But as usual, you're more interested in proving someone wrong than paying attention to the important part of the post... the fact that there were bombs at all. Rather childish and petty, don't you think?
