Buddhist monks have led prayers for the reopening
of a Bangkok shrine where a blast killed 20 people, as police in Thailand
continue to hunt a man shown on security footage calmly planting what is
believed to be the bomb.
The bomb struck early on Monday evening as worshippers
and tourists crowded into the Erawan shrine in the Thai capital’s commercial
heart, but no one has yet claimed responsibility. See more pictures after the cut...
About a dozen monks led the prayers at the Erawan
shrine as it reopened early on Wednesday while devotees – including tourists –
bent down and held joss sticks.
The attack left at least 11 foreigners dead, with
Chinese, Hong Kong, Singaporean, Indonesian and a family from Malaysia among
the victims.
