A series of bomb blasts across Thailand has targeted tourist towns, killing four people and injuring dozens.

Four bombs exploded in the resort town of Hua Hin, while several blasts hit the island of Phuket, a top tourist destination, all within a 24-hour period on Thursday and Friday.

No group has said it carried out the attacks, but suspicion is likely to fall on separatist insurgents.

The timing is sensitive, as Friday is a holiday marking the queen's birthday.

The attackers focused on tourist hotspots:

Four blasts over 24 hours in Hua Hin where two people died

Two blasts in Surat Thani where one person died

Two blasts in the tourist beach town of Patong on Phuket island

One blast in Trang where one person died

Blasts in the beach province of Phang Nga

Hua Hin is about 200km (125 miles) from the capital Bangkok while the province of Phuket is in the far south.

More sickening evil. The world is doomed without no-holds, draconian countermeasures to combat these vile bastards. All governments should take off the gloves and REALLY commit to destroying ALL these evil terrorists before it is too late, and to hell with PC or adverse reaction.

It's what "freedom fighters" do, isn't it? For everyone that abhors terrorism there will be someone supporting them. For every person shot or killed by a terrorist there will be someone saying it was the only way. It's depressing.

Targets are Tourists
The nation is under Army rule
so they will not publish the truth, sadly
simply because it stops tourists
visiting their nation
