The attack killed and wounded several people, and the toll is likely to climb to high double digits.
The Hindu Erawan shrine stands on a busy street along with popular hotels, shopping centres, offices and a hospital.
The CCTV footage shows a bustling street going about its business when the bomb explodes in a bright flash.
The traffic is disoriented and an individual staggers and falls to the ground.
Nobody has claimed the responsibility for the blast so far, which the Thai government says was aimed at disrupting the country’s tourism industry.
