Dear ISB Community,
As many of you will be aware, there was an explosion in the Ratchaprasong area in downtown Bangkok on this evening (Monday 17 August) at around 7.00pm. Few details are known at present, but media sources are currently reporting numerous fatalities and injuries.
We are in regular contact with our various security advisors, the Royal Thai police, and government sources.
At this stage, ISB will be open tomorrow (Tuesday 18th August), with bus routes IR2 & IR3 rerouted to avoid possible road closures.
There will be no afterschool activities of any kind and all buses will depart ISB at 2.15pm. Students should not remain on campus after 2:30pm.
However, please regularly check SMS, the school website and email as the situation can change quite rapidly.
We will remain in contact with our security advisors, monitor events, and communicate again when we have more to report.
The situation remains unpredictable and ISB community members are also advised to monitor events through the media and take extra precautions.
If you do not receive an SMS from ISB tonight, please email your mobile number(s) and name(s) to smsupdate@isb.ac.th
The Leadership Team is happy to help with concerns or suggestions and contact details are provided below.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Davies
Head of School
