Gaysorn Plaza Bomb Site, Bangkok
This is the bomb site at Gaysorn Plaza directly across the road from Central World--formerly known as World Trade Center. I took these around 10:30am Jan 02. The phone booths are underneath a normally heavily trafficed footbridge used to cross between Gaysorn and Central World. Central World/World Trade Center is pretty much like Times Square on New Years Eve, i.e. place where Bangkok signfies the new year.
This is looking toward Central World, Gaysorn is behind me.

On the other side of the road looking toward Gaysorn, Central World is behind me.
Very subdued for Bangkok. This is usually one of the classic traffic snarls.

Bangkok New Years Eve 2006
Here's a view of Bangkok last night and this afternoon.
The following two pics show Nana Plaza raging at midnight, no bomb affect here.
Victory Monument, this afternoon 01Jan2007, site of one of the more effective bomb blasts. An elevated Sky Train runs behind the monument, and underneath the train tracks is where the blast occurred in a covered bus stop bench hovel.
Bomb damage to the bus stop hovel.
General area of the VM blast. To the left is the damaged bus stop, and to the right is a very popular outdoor night spot. Those familiar with Bangkok have probably been here as it's right next to the famous jazz club Saxaphone.
Not sure what the white circles are, but they're related to the blast as officials were marking and analyzing them.
Another shot of the bus stop.
TV coverage on the VM blast.
