Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will suspend services at its centre near Paragon Shopping Complex in Pathumwan district as this was damaged by an explosion on Sunday night, Sitthichai Huaysakon, director of Pathumwan district, said on Monday.
The repair of the centre’s booth, which is close to where the bombs were placed, will take four to five days.
The BMA has set up the centres in many spots in Bangkok to offer such services as the processing of identity cards and household registration so that the public is not forced to go district offices.
Meanwhile BMA’s Director of Traffic Development director Traipop Kantayaporn said that police have asked the BMA for security camera footage of the area where the attack took place in their bid to find the attackers.
Traipop added that the BMA’s security cameras only cover the area nearby. “We already checked the footage and found nothing,” he said.
