British woman among victims of Bangkok blast

“The school has been in contact with Vivian’s family to express its most sincere condolences on her passing and is co-ordinating condolence and support arrangements for its students, alumnae, teachers and parents”.

She was a law student travelling in Thailand with a friend, named as Arcadia Pang Wan-chee, when they were both killed in the explosion in the centre of Bangkok.

Quoting industry data, Macau’s Tourism Crisis Management Office said in a statement yesterday that about 20 local tour groups were travelling in Thailand at the moment, which approximated about 400 people.

“According to sources, she recently posted a picture on an Instagram account of her food blog, @kittealuvfood, appreciating local delicacies”.

Writing on a Facebook tribute page, Ed Wawn posted: “Devastating news. RIP Vivian. You will always be remembered”.

Sophia Hui said: “I was in utter shock when I learned the news”. We, the Huis, are saddened with the loss.

Serena Wong wrote: “I really treasure the memories we had, and am sure you’ll be a joyful angel in heaven”. You’ll always be in our heart.

The Immigration Department (ImmD) of Hong Kong announced that as of 6 a.m. Tuesday, the death of two Hong Kong residents had been confirmed by the Chinese embassy in Bangkok and the families concerned. Your wit, loveliness and your smile with dimples on the cheek.

‘Thank you for being in my life.

“Our last conversation you said you would study hard and then we meet again”. [I] never thought life could be that fickle…

Yung posted a photo on Facebook of the two of them together online with the message: “You have left a deep impression in me”.

Prime Minister David Cameron said he was “deeply saddened” by Ms Chan’s death. “My thoughts are with the victims, their families and loved ones, and with the Thai people”.

Thai authorities are searching for a man caught on security cameras leaving behind a rucksack at the popular attraction, which is in an area well-used by foreign visitors.

More than 140 other people were injured by Monday’s blast.

“The loss of life and injury in Bangkok is horrific and I condemn this callous act of violence against completely innocent and unsuspecting members of the public”, Mr Hammond said in a statement.

Because the Foreign Office has not expressly advised Britons to avoid Thailand, anyone with a pre-booked holiday to the region is unlikely to get a refund from their travel operator. Hong Kong has consequently issued a “red alert” travel advisory warning against non-essential travel to the Thai capital – also a signal for tour suspension reference for the Hong Kong-incorporated travel agencies that have branches in Macau.
