Images of the suspect caught on CCTV footage had already been released.
In the new footage, the suspect shown carefully and deliberately
removing his backpack inside the shrine, getting up without it and immediately
leaving the scene.
The spot where he was sitting is precisely where the bomb
went off a few minutes later, says the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok.
"There is a suspect... we are looking for this
guy," Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters.
"The yellow shirt guy is not just the suspect. He is
the bomber," police spokesman Lt Gen Prawut Thavornsiri told the
Associated Press news agency.
The bomb was detonated at about 19:00 local time (12:00 GMT)
on Monday when the shrine, and the nearby Ratchaprasong junction, were crowded.
"There have been minor bombs or just noise, but this
time they aim for innocent lives. They want to destroy our economy, our
tourism."
In a televised address, he pledged the government would do
all it could to bring the perpetrators to justice and told foreigners living in
the country that it would try to safeguard them.
In Tuesday's incident, a device - possibly a grenade - was
reportedly thrown at the busy Sathorn pier in Bangkok. (bbcasia)
