Euronews spoke to Italian freelancer journalist Sofia Nitti, who was close by the scene in Bangkok when the blast happened.

“Rescuers arrived quite rapidly, but the streets were not completely blocked, and even the sky train which passes by this crossroad stopped just for a short time,” said Nitti.

Nitti has previously worked for euronews and AFP.
