Anyone in BKK at the moment that can comment on this?

I am getting worried since I will be in Silom in the next couple of weeks. Should I skip BKK and try another city ??

Thanks

That would be a big overreaction, if you ask me.

I have lived in Bangkok for over 25 years and never had it happen to me, never seen it happen, never known anyone to have it happen to.

Has anyone else?

In any case, if you aren't taking drugs there doesn't seem anything to worry about. Additionally, all the reports I've seen have been in relation to the area around Soi Cowboy -- not in or near Silom.
