There's photos on Twitter. Nothing to add at this time. Looks like Rachadamri outside the Brahmin shrine.

Hearing one more bomb just went off in Sathorn. Huge bomb but fortunately exploded in the river.

Yes Phil you are right, seen the CCTV footage on Al Jazeera, it was aimed at one of the small Piers along the river, there were people walking on it but it missed and went in to the water just before exploding
