At least 19 are reportedly dead after a bombing in central Bangkok overnight.
This morning, reports have surfaced of Australian rockstar Jimmy Barnes and his family only narrowly missing the bombings after taking the decision to use an above ground walkway.
We should have checked the weather before heading out to sea
The Age is reporting that the family chose to take an overhead bridge to the Bangkok Skytrain before feeling the blast go off near them, shattering the glass windows of the covered walkway.
Jimmy's wife Jane tweeted from the scene.
A bomb or something has exploded in Bangkok, very close to us! #explosioninBangkok
Following a few hours, Barnes and his family returned to their hotel - fully aware of how close they came to death.
We have been able to cross back to our hotel. Bombs diffused. Bodies still covered on road, terrible, so sad #bangkok
