BBC reports:
“There has been a large explosion close to a shrine [Erawan Shrine] in the centre of the Thai capital, Bangkok. Local TV has initially reported five dead and 20 injured and quoted police as saying it was caused by a bomb.”
“The BBC’s Jonathan Head, who is at the scene, says there is a huge amount of chaos with body parts scattered everywhere and a crater that does indicate a bomb attack.”

the effects of a gas tank explosion could easily be mistaken for a bomb explosion one would think.
Police confirm they’ve made at least one other bomb safe, so, assuming Thai police aren’t confused as to their own actions, it looks like a bombing attack.
