DFAT has issued a travel warning for Thailand after an Australian was burned by a grenade and three people died in political violence gripping Bangkok.
Melbourne man Benjamin Rowse, 26, was taken to the Bangkok Christian Hospital, where he is in a stable condition.
He was one of dozens injured when a series of grenade blasts ripped through a pro-government rally in Bangkok, the latest bloodshed in the heart of the Thai capital.
