It's been one day since a bomb tore through this busy shopping district in the Thai capital...and the death toll continues to rise.
A young girl died on Monday from brain injuries sustained by the blast. Pictures of her can be seen on this medical volunteer's mobile.
Her four-year-old brother and a 59-year-old woman died the previous day, bringing the number of dead to three.
More than 20 people were wounded.

"He (the wounded boy) is about my son's age. He was choking and I felt really sad and thought if he was my son, I would have gone mad. I can't accept this."
Relatives of the family who died left the hospital weeping, as officials carried out the coffins of their loved ones.

"Why has this happened to my children? I hope all sides realize that my family right now is suffering and it is unbearable."
