Twin bomb attack reported at Thai resort

Two bombs exploded Thursday in the popular Thai seaside resort of Hua Hin, killing at least one person and wounding as many as 20 others, Thai media reported.

(FOX)- Police said the bombs went off in planters 55 yards apart from each other on a busy street with open-front bars. The attackers detonated the bombs using their phones, the BBC reported.

The explosions unfolded about 30 minutes apart, The Sun added, reporting that tourists were among the wounded.

The woman killed reportedly was a street food vendor. Hua Hin, on the Gulf of Thailand more than 100 miles southwest of Bangkok, reportedly has become a popular destination for British travelers.

It was not clear who was behind the attack, but the timing suggested it might be an effort to embarrass the military government that took power two years ago.
