False alarm bomb scare at Nana BTS

Sukhumvit Road around Nana BTS closed today around 2:30pm as police investigated a suspicious package that ultimately proved to be a false alarm

A mysterious black object was found at the bottom of the BTS stairs at the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 7.

Police determined that it was just an empty box wrapped in tape and plastic, Matichon reported. Bangkok is on high alert after a bomb at the Erawan Shrine killed 20 people on Monday night.

A small explosion at Sathorn Pier further rattled nerves, but thankfully didn’t injure anyone.
