I'm being told there are bombs going off around Bangkok. true or not?

Have just heard the same well according to the TV report that has just been relayed to me, some people have died, there were four bombs, one in Saphan Quai, Secon Square and Victory Monument, I don't know about the other place

Marquess says:

Any solid info about this?

7 Places bombed now being reported.

It is solid and being reported on Thai TV.

It is supposed to be a holiday.

*** **** scum!

Just flipped through the Thai channels. No sign of anything like this. Channel 7 news show was showing highlights of the Giants-Redskin game, so it seems to me there is not a high priority story going on right now.

I do hear what sounds like fire works going off sporadically, so lets see.

Update, reports are now coming in, but no videos yet. Wife is out and called to say something is up.

First report from Nation Newspaper:

Four bombs go off in Bangkok

Four explosives went off almost simultaneously in Bangkok, injuring at least 20 people as the city people have just started to celebrate the New Year's eve.

One person was dead at the Big C supermarket, Sapan Kwai branch, where witness saw a man dropped a grenade from a pedestrian bridge, police said.

At least 20 were injured at the Victory Monument when a bomb went off near a bus station.

Talking a bit fast for me but seems like 1 dead in Klong Toey, 1 dead at Saphan Kwai, bomb also exploded at Suk 62.

Definately true sad to say, listening now to Jor Sor 100.

Over zealous newyear revelers???

Thai TV reporting 5 dead at Victory Monument.
