Just got a call from wife`s friends there was an explosian in the town centre of Hat Yai. They said there were fatalities.

I am sure it will hit news within a few minutes.

RT@RichardBarrow: 1:30 p.m. Reports coming in of an explosion at Garden Plaza Hotel in Hat Yai on the 4th floor. Over 200 people trapped

Epic that is right smack in the middle of the busiest venue

Our friends have just got back with shocked faces. They were about 100 metres from the hotel when heard the boom. One of their friends is being in the hotel on the 12th floor. Not sure they are trapped or just the Police are doing a thorough search and keeping the people inside.

Just got a photo. The McDonalds is on fire.

RT@RichardBarrow: 1:50 p.m. Explosion at Lee Garden Plaza in Hat Yai was NOT a bomb. It was a gas explosion in McDonalds on ground floor.

Seeing the photos it seems to be quite serious. Hopefully not a bomb though.
