BANGKOK—Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha on Friday, August 2, ordered an investigation into several small bombings in Bangkok that took place as Thailand was hosting a high-level meeting attended by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his counterparts from China and several Asia-Pacific countries.
Explosive devices were found or detonated at least six locations, including two at stations of the capital’s elevated Skytrain rail system. Other sites included a government complex on the outskirts of the city, and near the offices of a company associated with supporters of Prayuth’s new government, police said.
