A woman and a child have been killed in a grenade attack in a main Bangkok shopping district.
The attack came a day after a young girl died and dozens were hurt in a drive-by shooting at a protest rally in eastern Thailand.
The explosion occurred during an anti-government rally in an area popular with tourists for its street stalls, hotels and proximity to one of the biggest shopping malls in Thailand's capital.
A 40-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy died and 22 people were injured,
A damaged tuk-tuk was left abandoned on the blood-splattered road as soldiers and police sealed off the area.
Police said shrapnel fragments indicated the blast was caused by a grenade fired from a M79 launcher.
