This is as much as the Beeb online has at the moment;
There has been a large explosion close to a 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.
If this is confirmed, he says, it would be rare for the capital.

As is "normal" in these circumstances, the death toll announced at the start invariably rises presumably because some of those in the "injured" column move to the "dead" column.
