This hasn't hit Thai visa news yet and it's in Thai but... the link below is a picture of Sukhumvit between soi 7-9. It is being blocked for a "Suspicious" object. Drive around if you can. It's likely nothing and just paranoia but at the very minimum, hopefully this will help you to avoid the ensuing traffic issues (is that possible in BKK?).

Are we a bit nervous

living on soi 11, id say its relevant.

In any case, at least the public is aware now about the danger of objects and luggage being left on the street.
