June 16, 20178 yr Author Small explosive device wounds one in Thai capital - police BANGKOK (Reuters) - A small explosion in Thailand's capital, Bangkok, wounded one person on Friday, police said, adding that the device was a "ping pong" bomb hidden in a plastic bag. The blast came a day after authorities said they had arrested a suspect in connection with an explosion last month at a military-run hospital in Bangkok that injured more than 20 people. "It was in a plastic bag hidden in a bush and city cleaning staff went to pick it out and opened it, that was when it exploded," a police officer at the scene told Reuters.

June 16, 20178 yr Author Bangkok road sweeper injured by ping-pong bomb By The Nation BANGKOK: -- A ROAD sweeper was apparently injured by a ping-pong bomb inside a bag found by a street in Thonglor on Friday afternoon, police said. Pol Col Kachornpong Jitphakphum, commander of the Thonglor police, said the female worker with Bangkok Metropolitan Administration injured her right thigh above the knee and was rushed to Chulalongkorn Hospital. The explosion occurred on Sukhumvit Soi 40. Kachornpong said the worker was sweeping the road in front of Pathum Khongkha School and found a cloth bag hidden in small trees on the roadside. The worker carried the bag with her but dropped it three times, so she decided to open the object – wrapped in black adhesive tape – and it exploded. Kachornpong said it might have been a ping-pong bomb put there by students and may not be a device to cause public alarm.

You underestimate the investigative skills of the Thai police in a Junta controlled Thailand. It's either the guy they got yesterday or the two Burmese who did the Koh Tao job - DNA results and CCTC will be presented within a week.
June 16, 20178 yr If she opened the bag/package and then it exploded, that lady street cleaner was damned lucky.

Municipal employees were hit by ping pong bomb, not by an explosive device of the type used during the Bangkok bombings Mauvaise pioche.....
