Three bomb attacks minutes apart killed nine people and wounded more than 100 on Saturday in the heart of Yala in the insurgency-hit far South, a hospital worker said.
"There are nine dead now and 112 injured people sent to our hospital," a nurse in the emergency unit of Yala provincial hospital told AFP.
The Public Health Ministry said 10 people were in critical condition with severe burns.
The blasts took place within a 10-minute span near the Ruam Mitr intersection in the main business centre of Yala municipality around noon on Saturday.
