TLDR : Answer Summary
On August 2, 2019, breaking news reported multiple bomb explosions in Bangkok, including one at the Government Complex in Chaeng Wattana. Comments from individuals present at the location indicated that while police were responding to the situation, life seemed to continue normally in the area. Some people expressed frustration over the TM30 notification requirement, while additional commentary suggested that the bombings were potentially intended to embarrass Thailand during an important ASEAN security meeting with international figures involved.

Bombs packed with ball bearings, which are designed to do maximum damage to people. Perhaps designed to embarrass Thailand who are currently hosting the ASEAN security meeting, with Mike Pompeo making speeches.
