Slightly off topic. Some people say the area along Ploenchit/Chidlom has a lot of bad spirits/energy. If you walk along the street, you'll notice each business has a place a worship; The IC Hotel, Renaissance, Amarin Plaza, Erawan Hotel, etc. The junction where this bomb went off happens to be the strongest.
Having said that, tourism to BKK will probably take a small hit. Time and time again, BKK has always bounced back from these unfortunate events. That's why some say BKK/Thailand is like Teflon.
