Answer summary

On August 24, 2022, there were rumors of an explosion in Bangkok that created a stir among residents and expats. Despite inquiries, initial searches yielded no concrete news, and even Thai news channels reported nothing on the incident. Some comments speculated it could be from an electrical transformer or jokingly attributed to exaggerated claims. However, later posts confirmed that a significant explosion occurred at a chemical factory on the outskirts of Bangkok, causing evacuations due to fears of toxic fumes. This incident appeared to be the source of the initial concerns in the community.

Evacuations ordered after Thai chemical factory explodes

A massive explosion at a factory on the outskirts of Bangkok has damaged homes in the surrounding neighborhoods and prompted the evacuation of a wide area over fears of poisonous fumes from burning chemicals and the possibility of additional denotations

I agree with the electric transformer idea. They blow out sometimes and sound like a really loud gun. It definitely startles you. I had one blow outside the Bangkok condo recently. Very loud.

In Pattaya, there was an explosive sound yesterday while I was upstairs at the Starbucks at Tukom plaza. Everyone was was alarm!

Looked out the window and then went back to their coffee. My GF said there was a bright flash, but I didn't see anything looking at my computer screen. My heart definitely skipped a beat lol.
