Online news:

A foreign woman artist, Elizabeth Briel, reported on Twitter on Friday that she and her husband had acid sprayed at their faces at the Asoke skytrain station last night.

She said the acid was directed at them from the stairway leading to the station near Robinson shopping mall.

Mrs Briel said her husband's eyes were damaged but would be okay, while she has a burnt scalp.

They were treated at Bumrungrad hospital.

The hospital said this is the third case they have seen lately.

In Mrs Briel's homepage http://elizabethbriel.com/, she sums up the incident saying she and her husband "were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Her letter to Thailand says she will leave Thailand and travel to China soon because of "China's contemporary art and its fringe cultures", not because of last night's incident.

Sounds like the act of a jealous idiot. Hope the criminals are captured and convicted of attempted murder.
