(13 Aug 2016) A Danish tour guide has told of the chaos, fear and commotion that followed Thursday's bomb attacks in the seaside town of Hua Hin.
Attackers hid bombs on a busy street filled with bars and restaurants.
One Thai woman was killed and about 20 people were wounded, 11 of them foreigners.
The bombs were hidden inside two potted plants and were detonated by remote control about half an hour apart.
Police said a Samsung cellphone had been recovered that they believe was used to detonate at least one of the bombs.
Niels Seeberg, 59, has lived in the Hua Hin area for 10 years.
He says he's never experienced anything like this before.
Seeberg had come across the first blast site earlier in the night, and thought it might be a gas explosion.
So he and his friends continued on to a venue where a live band was playing.
"Suddenly there was a big blast, a very big blast, and I could feel the pressure on my eardrums," he said.
Soon the bar filled with panicked people running from the blast site, some smeared in blood.
Attackers struck a series of tourist resort towns across southern Thailand on Thursday and Friday with homemade explosives and firebombs.
The violence was among the worst to hit the country since a military coup two years ago.
Police said at least four people were killed and dozens wounded, including 11 foreigners.
It was not clear who was behind the attacks, which followed a successful referendum held last weekend on a new constitution that critics say will bolster the military's power for years to come.
