Well, as long as no Thais were hurt, that's all that really matters.

It will be weeks before they get a body count (if they ever do), much less identify all the victims.

And the count will be in the hundreds, or the thousands judging by the photos of the devastation making it into the news.

Some of my friends in Tianjin say dozens of hospitals around the city are seeing a massive influx of emergency cases.

Can we also be aware and be thankful that no Polar Bears were injured in this horrific incident which claimed the lives of, as a minimum 16 people and injured, who knows how many. My thoughts are with them and their family and friends.

But no Thais where injured.

TAT also reported this will result in an increase in tourist numbers.

BOT said the economy will remain strong.

BBC is now saying at least 50 dead. Apparently there had been safety concerns expressed before the explosions.
