As another suspect was arrested at around the same time, this seems to have been a larger jihad plot. It was reported last week that “police suspect up to 10 people were involved in the attack that may have taken a month to plan.”
All that time and intellectual energy devoted to plotting murder and mayhem to please a bloodthirsty god. What a waste.
“Suspected Bangkok bomber arrested,” Sky News, August 29, 2015 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

Authorities say the arrested man fits the description of the main suspect in the 17 August bombing and was found with possible bomb-making materials….
‘We have detained one person,’ deputy national police chief General Chaktip Chaijinda told reporters in a live televised broadcast.’We have found components of bomb-making materials in his apartment and I am confident that he is likely involved with the bomb attack,’ he said on broadcaster T News.
