Bangkok bomb: What do we know?
A bomb ripped through central Bangkok, close to the Erawan Shrine, on Monday 17 August, killing 20 people. Here is what we know about the incident so far.
What happened?
At about 19:00 local time (12:00 GMT) an improvised explosive device detonated inside the Erawan shrine in central Bangkok.
Thai police said it was a pipe bomb - 3kg (6.5lb) of TNT explosive stuffed into a pipe and wrapped with white cloth.
The explosion killed 20 people, according to officials, 12 of whom died at the scene. More than 120 people were injured.
Correspondents described a site of carnage, with body parts strewn across the area as well as broken glass and burned-out vehicles.
Bomb disposal units checked two suspicious objects but found no other bombs.
Who did it?
No-one has said they carried out the attack but police have released a detailed sketch of the main suspect. The man was earlier pictured on CCTV, dressed in a yellow shirt, leaving a backpack at the shrine.
The Thai authorities said the suspect was a foreigner and that he was working as part of a network of 10 or more people.
But they said the bombing was "unlikely" to be the work of an international terror group, and that they did not believe Chinese tourists had been specifically targeted, who made up most of the foreigners killed.
What's the significance of the Erawan shrine?
The shrine, built to bring good fortune to the five-star hotel next door, is dedicated to the Hindu creation god Brahma, but it is popular with Thai Buddhists too.
Thousands of people, including tourists, visit it every day, and Thais will often stop for a brief prayer as they pass by at any time of the day.
