According to the police source, the man was seen on a security camera sitting on a bench in the compound of the shrine after leaving his bag behind the bench.

After a while, he was seen standing and appeared to be dialing on a phone and walking fast from the area.

National police chief General Somyot Poompanmuang earlier said initial inquiries showed that an improvised explosive device was planted under a chair close to the fence of the Erawan Shrine. It was a 3kg TNT explosive with a capacity to damage a 100-metre area.
