Some foreign tourists have expressed concerns over their safety, following the twin blasts in front of Siam Paragon shopping mall on Sunday night but said they would not cancel or cut short their trips unless violence escalates.
Many foreigners said they had read reports about the blasts caused by two home-made bombs in the city centre, but many still visited the area yesterday.
"I don't think it was serious enough," said Dutch tourist Mika Grund, who has travelled here several times over the last 18 years.
"Even if it was really serious, it still would not stop me from coming."
Though authorities have not confirmed the motive for the attacks, Mr Grund, who is familiar with Thai affairs, believed it was politically-motivated.
"This is typical Thailand," he said. "Things like this, I think we can never avoid them."
Mr Grund said only a resumption of street protests could persuade him to stop visiting Bangkok.
''I would probably not come to Bangkok if protesters block Siam Paragon since I like to move around," he said.
Australian tourist Sybella Sullivan said she was shocked that a conventionally safe area like Siam would be targeted.
"It's always a scare. When you get a text from home saying, 'What's happened? Are you okay?' it does make you a little bit more aware that something's not right here," she said.
But since the military coup last year, Ms Sullivan said Thailand has "settled down".
A Norwegian family that plans to leave Thailand today paid a visit to the Siam area yesterday despite the blasts.
"Of course we're concerned about it but it doesn't affect us," said Eirik Aase. "We know it was in this area but we are still here."
His wife, Hilde Aase, however, was worried about another attack.
"I'm scared, and especially worried about the safety of my grandchild in the shopping centre.''
However, Sagar Srivastava, a Siam Centre shopkeeper who witnessed the blasts, admitted fewer shoppers visited the department store yesterday.
The bombs exploded about 8pm, a peak hour for shopping and dining at the mall.
The Minister of Tourism and Sports, Kobkarn Wattanavarangkul, urged police investigating the blasts to put tourists at ease.
"Even though shops were still open and tourists visited Siam as usual, police should try to wrap up the investigation in a week to ensure safety and promote confidence among foreign tourists," she said.
Ms Kobkarn added other popular sites in Bangkok are being monitored while tourist police are watching all hotspots in the capital as well as sharing reports on social media and with the government.
Deputy-governor for marketing communications of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Sugree Sithivanich, said the explosion would not affect tourism in the short-run.
"Police have to clarify the motive behind the bombings, or tourism could be affected in the long term," he said.
