PHUKET: The Phuket Governor has ordered a security boost in Phuket, particularly at crowded areas such as department stores and fresh markets, as well as at all entry and exit points such as Phuket International Airport, bus terminals, deep sea ports and checkpoints.

A woman has been detained in connection with letters warning about bomb attacks that were sent to two medical institutes before a pipe bomb finally rocked the Phra Mongkutklao Hospital on May 22.
