A police personnel inspects one of the blast sites in Thailand
A series of bomb blasts hit three of the most popular tourist resorts in southern Thailand on Thursday (August 11) and Friday(August 12), killing two people and wounding dozens, just days after the country voted to accept a military-backed constitution in a referendum.
Twin blasts hit the upscale resort of Hua Hin, around 200 kilometres (125 miles) south of Bangkok, on Friday morning just hours after two bombs killed one person and wounded 21 late on Thursday. Hua Hin is home to the Klai Kangwon royal palace, which translates as ‘Far from Worries Palace’, where King Bhumibol Adulayadej, the world's longest reigning monarch, and his wife Sirikit have often stayed in recent years.
Friday (August 12) was a public holiday in Thailand to mark Queen Sirikit's birthday. One person died and three people were wounded in one of the Friday (August 12) morning blasts near an iconic clock tower in Hua Hin, deputy police spokesman Police Colonel Krisana Pattanacharoen told reporters in Bangkok.
