An avid food blogger, a Manchester United fan, and a Malaysian family of four were among the 20 people killed by the bomb blast in Bangkok on Monday night.
More than 120 people were injured in the explosion at the Erawan shrine, a Hindu tourist hotspot also frequented by Buddhists.
Authorities have been releasing details of those confirmed to have been killed or injured, while Asian media outlets have revealed more about those who died, at least half of whom were foreigners.

Suwan Sathman, 30, worked for a foundation that manages the Erawan shrine. He was killed in the blast.
His family members told Thai media that he had a six-year-old son and had been planning to marry his fiancee soon.
"They [the bombers] have total disregard for victims' families. This is murdering innocent people. Suwan has worked hard to take care of his family," Mr Sathman's mother told the Bangkok Post.
Other Thai victims include: Yutthanarong Singror, 44, who was on his way to deliver documents when the blast happened; Standard Chartered bank employee Suchada Niseeda, 32; and Namouy Sangchan, 30.
