Police inspect a spot in front of Saithong Restaurant in Pattani

PATTANI: -- A 60-year-old woman cleared a bomb from out of her restaurant in Pattani's Yaring district on Tuesday night. The bomb went off later without causing any casualties.

Pannee Rattanachinda noticed a suspicious box under a table inside her Saithong Restaurant after two men dropped by without buying anything.

After opening the box Pannee found what looked like explosives inside. She rushed it out to a pile of sand in front of her restaurant.

The bomb went off half an hour later without any casualties. A few minutes later another blast occurred nearby, but nobody was hurt.

Yaring Police Station received reports of the blasts at about 7.25pm. They found that one explosion had occurred in the pile of sand in front of the restaurant, and the other bomb had been hidden inside a garbage bin when it went off. Upon scouring the scene, police also found a third bomb that was successfully defused.

Saithong Restaurant is popular andhas attracted a number of high-ranking government officials and celebrities. Police believe the blasts were designed to spur unrest in the deep South.

The report sounds as if the restaurant owner did not report it to the police - or not until after it had exploded............?

Poor reporting, my misunderstanding or ........well words fail me

Usually its a Thai doing the reporting and they do not understand what journalism is . They just write something to fill the pages

So sad a mind is a terrible thing to waste

Kudos to Pannee Rattanachinda!

At least she was smart enough, had enough presence of mind, to remove the bomb from her restaurant.

Somebody has neither moved forward nor had their happiness returned.

Second bomb designed to kill or maim the rescuers and survivors from the first bomb. Bastards.

If I don't like the food, I just complain to the management. Seriously though, she showed a lot of bottle.

what mind???

So here we have a story about a 60 year old woman preventing a bomb attack, and two of the first three posters use the story as a chance to indulge in some moronic Thai bashing. Pathetic!
