These were the horrific scenes after multiple explosions rocked
a series of Thai tourist hotspots, killing at least four and injuring
dozens - including Brits.
At least 10 blasts have struck a
string of southern cities and resorts over the past 24 hours, including
Hua Hin, Surat Thani, Patong, Trang and Phang Nga.
Four people so
far have been confirmed dead in the co-ordinated attacks - while a
further 35 have reportedly been injured, including many foreigners.
This
morning, chilling CCTV images emerged purportedly showing two suspects
being hunted by police in the wake of the horrific explosions.
In the pictures, apparently released by police, the men can be seen
walking down the street, with one dressed in a straw hat and the other
sporting a baseball cap.
The mass attack began last night with
two bombs in the seaside town of Hua Hin, which killed a Thai woman and
wounded 23, including two British women.
Then, this morning, twin
blasts hit the same area, which is situated around 125 miles south of
Bangkok and is home to the Klai Kangwon royal palace.
The explosions occurred at around 9am local time (2am GMT) near a clock tower in the seaside resort and killed a second person.
The
first bomb exploded near a police box, wounding one Thai man, a police
officer in Phuket said. The second exploded 300 metres away and nobody
was hurt, he said.
