Narathiwat - A series of explosions happened at two discotheques in this southern border province early Monday, injuring 31 people.

Police said insurgents apparently used timing device to detonate a bomb each inside the discotheques and detonated bombs outside with remote control.

Panicked patrons and employees of the discotheques ran out to be injured by more explosions outside, police said.

The first attack happened at the Riviera Hotel at the 4 am and the second attack at Marina Hotel. Both hotels are located in Narathiwat's Sungai Kolok district.

Insurgents planted time bombs in certain motorcycles, which shortly exploded after the explosions in the discotheques.

Most of those, who were injured, were patrons trying to retrieve their motorcycles to flee the scenes.
