BANGKOK: BACK TO NORMAL

Here's another story and picture you will not have seen on the newspaper front pages and leading news bulletins around the world.
Tennis stars Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were in Bangkok last week for an exhibition match - and are pictured here paying their respects at the Erawan Shrine prior to the game - which Djokovic won 6-4, 6-2.
Although the events of mid-August happened at the very same spot as this image was taken, it will be the ones of explosions and carnage that will be remembered and have ultimately got hundreds of times more media exposure around the world.
The message - as it's been for 48-hours since the explosion at the Erawan Shrine - is that it's very, very much business as usual in Bangkok.
