At least three people have been killed and several others injured, after an explosion hit an residential building north of Bangkok, the Thai capital.

The blast occurred at about 6:00 pm local time (11:00 GMT) in the Bang Bua Thong district of Nonthaburi Province on Tuesday, a local police official said.

"We still don't know the cause of the explosion. Two storeys of the mansion collapsed," Colonel Somchai Hussakul, a police spokesman, said. He said the blast came from a room in the building.

The explosion came hours after Thailand's government extended a controversial state of emergency in Nonthaburi and three other provinces, including Bangkok, in the wake of deadly street protests and a series of grenade blasts in the capital.

A string of small bombings, thought to be politically motivated have hit Bangkok and the surrounding areas this year.

Authorities recently warned that stepped-up violence was expected beginning this month, and over the weekend 11 men were detained in the northern province of Chiang Mai. They are suspected of training for armed attacks on behalf of a movement to overthrow Thailand's monarchy.

unfortunately, it already is.

Don't have to be a bomb, I've seen houses turned to match sticks by natural gas/air mix explosions and a house with all its doors + window blown out and several internal walls blown out by a rusted aerosol can that burst and the fridge detonating the resultant air/fuel mix.

If they start talking bombs, I would like to know if they are using anything more sophisticated than a GT-200 to detect any residuals

An unopened can of baked beans being heated in the micro-wave?

All jokes aside this is something very serious and I hope the blast is not politically motivated.

If so then we can expect a lot more.

When I stay in Bangkok it is usually in a predominantly muslim suburb of the city and probably the safest place to be.

**dirtydog** · 05-10-2010, 10:23 PM

Could be a gas explosion, but it's pretty hard to get a bottle to explode rather than burn.

Which Red leader is behind this bomb making accident?

**Larn** · 05-10-2010, 10:33 PM

CH3 Thai news is reporting the people renting the room come from ChiangMai.
They also interviewed an official who claimed they found another unexploded bomb in the room.

It is unlike any of the small bombs or grenades before.

One can only hope it was a gas explosion and not a new type of homemade bomb. True you don't get a gas cylinder to explode. But an old gas hose can leak and with the right mix of gas and air in a closed room you can get a huge explosion.

Edit: Latest news it was a bomb.
