DHAKA: A series of blasts across Thailand has targeted tourist towns, killing four people and injuring dozens.

In the resort town of Hua Hin, south of Bangkok, four bombs exploded over the last 24 hours, reports the BBC.

Several blasts also hit the island of Phuket, one Thailand's main tourist destinations, on Friday.

No group has said it carried out the attacks, but suspicion is likely to fall on separatist insurgents.

The timing is sensitive, as Friday is a holiday marking the queen’s birthday.
