Seems like we have nothing to fear, they have no idea how to throw grenades.

 

On the other hand, it was way down on Soi 71 which is pretty far away from most of the tourist stuff and more around the Muslim neighborhood.

Other people apparently did .. Any they were his accomplices.

I will repeat my initial remarks when I learned of this - Enjoy your stay at the Bangkok Hilton! You will make many friends there.
