Guests and hotel staff sit in dark in the basement of the Dusit Thani hotel after they were evacuated following an explosion and gunfire being heard around the hotel early on May 17, 2010. An explosion nearby rattled the hotel room. Bullets hit the wall outside, then their telephones rang: "Come down you are under attack," the voice from reception warned.
