"We have issued a travel advice. It is a call for Indonesian citizens in Thailand or planning to go there to be cautious," Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said.
The minister confirmed two Indonesian citizens are among the victims of the explosion that rocked Bangkok on Monday.
"One Indonesian citizen was killed and another had serious injury," Retno said.
