A suspected grenade was thrown at the Sathorn pier in Bangkok Tuesday but caused no injuries or damage. (Note: ThaiPBS claims it was a pipe bomb) Witnesses reported that an explosive device was hurled at approximately 1.20pm from the Sathorn bridge near a parking lot for pickup truck taxis, bounced into the water and exploded there.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Police closed Sathorn Road to traffic from the pier to the Saphan Taksin BTS station. Sathorn pier is a terminal for Chao Phraya commuter boats and a short distance from the Skytrain station. It's also a popular stop for Chinese tour groups.
