LHR to BKK aborted landing

I fly regularly to BKK and last year i was travelling with Thai on a 747-400 when after an apparently flawless landing,( i felt like the wheels touched down) there was an almighty roar and the plane took off on a touch and go.The thrust and lift was unbelievable and many passengers were hysterical and crying.When we reached a holding pattern some 6/7 mins later the pilot announced that the runway wasnt clear for landing!! WTF-400 passengers on a 747 and the runway not clear? Was this explaination bull**** or do you have any other theories? I would love to know what really caused the touch and go. Thanks
