Violence continued in southernmost province of Pattani with two bombs exploding simultaneously at ATMs on Tuesday slightly injuring one person.
The first attack took place at about 6.50am at an ATM of Krung Thai Bank in the middle of town near an intersection in Muang district.
The blast destroyed one of four machines as well as lights and walls. A woman, identified as Alisa Mumohali, who was standing near the machine at the time, suffered cuts to her left leg from pieces of the machine.
The second attack was at an ATM of the Bank of Ayudhya at the intersection of Udomwithee and Piphit roads. No one was wounded.
Police collected evidence from the sites and suspected the bombs were timed to explode.
Footage from a security camera showed a man wearing a hood behaving suspiciously and placing the explosive under the KT bank machine before leaving. The explosion took place about five minutes later followed almost immediately by the blast at the Bank of Ayudhya.
