Around noon time in Yala, two motorbike and on car bomb went off within a few hundred metres of each. In classic terrorist fashion, the first bomb went off and drew people to help with the wounded, then the other two went off catching even more people in the blasts.
Latest reports say eleven people have been murdered and over 100 injured, many seriously.
The second bomd exploded in the basement car park of an hotel in Hat Yai, at first it was thought that it was an explosion caused by leaking gas. Unfortunately, a crater has been found where the bomb was placed. This bomb killed five with over 300 injured. Amongst the dead are three Malay tourists. The Thai authorities aren't to worried about natives, but when tourists die they hope and pray no one finds out.
Luckily the rest of the world seems fairly uninterested in what happens in Southern Thailand, despite the deaths of 5000 people since 2004.
On the BBC website, it was still only reporting the deaths of 7 people in Yala, nothing about the Hat Yai bombing.
