Exact details of the latest incidents are still clear, but it is thought a total of three people died and more than 20 were injured.

In the resort town of Sungai Kolok, on the Malaysian border, there were a series of explosions late on Wednesday.

The bomb blasts, at a karaoke bar and two hotels, were triggered by mobile phone according to local police.

Bombs were also set off in Pattani province, damaging a bridge, and police in nearby Narathiwat province were targeted as they escorted a group of teachers to school.

There have been further reports of attacks in Narathiwat on Thursday, when a bomb hit a busy downtown area.
