Sorry for all the victims.

The number is still changing.

What is the reason behind this blast; is it the insurgency in S.Thailand ?

I would say this is designed to kill the tourism industry in Thailand.

Jihadis, it would be quite a low probability that it was done by red shirts although can't be discounted, maybe some fringe radical elements, they hate Bangkok.

Excatly, non-muslim won't bomb a Buddhist shrine.

I am sympathetic to Islamo even if they planted the bomb. They are so discriminated. Even the Swedes who pay Islamo free food, free school, free healthcare, free house, free monies are discriminating the Islamo and they wanted the Swede dead.

To redeem their sins, the Thai got to deliver their daughters to be raped by Islamo as well as their own head to be beheaded. Nothing less.

yup, that's what I'm thinking.. targeting a place of worship is kind of a big give away.

someone's got to do something about this.

At least three foreigners were among the 27 killed. Most of the injured were tourists from China and Taiwan, media said.

Yes, the main question would be, southern muslim insurgents or global jihadis.
