Thai soldiers and sniffer dogs stand near Erawan Shrine, a popular tourist destination that was the site of a bomb attack almost one year ago, in Bangkok on August 12, 2016. A string of bomb attacks hit popular tourist towns across Thailand, leaving four dead and many injured, with authorities on August 12 ruling out terrorism despite suspicions insurgents in the kingdom's deep south are responsible. Small bomb attacks are common in Thailand during times of heightened political tension, but there have been few such incidents in the past year after the 2015 blast at Erawan shrine and it is rare for tourists -- a key source of income for the kingdom -- to be targeted. / AFP PHOTO / LILLIAN SUWANRUMPHA
