Dave Hounddriver Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Thailand blasts: More explosions target tourist towns http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37046943 Quote A series of blasts across Thailand has targeted the tourist towns of Hua Hin, Phuket and other locations, leaving at least three dead and many injured. They struck just hours after two bombs hit a Hua Hin resort, close to Bangkok, killing one. The town was hit again by multiple blasts on Friday. No group has said it carried out the attacks, but suspicion is likely to fall on separatist insurgents. The timing is sensitive as Thais mark a long weekend for the queen's birthday. More reports of blasts are still coming in on Friday in what appears to be a co-ordinated series of attacks, but so far the locations include: Two blasts in Hua Hin where one person has died Two blasts in Surat Thani where one person has died Two blasts in Phuket where it is unclear how many are injured One blast in Trang where one person has died One bomb has been defused by authorities This will surely affect tourism. I'm now glad that I did not choose Thailand for this year's vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
