7 bombs across Thailand in coordinated attack

http://time.com/4449653/thailand-bombing-what-to-know/

I'm in Phuket at the moment a little nervous. Usually I wouldn't let these things alter my behavior -- bombings aren't entirely uncommon in Thailand -- but we're definitely canceling our plans to go see the big kickboxing match tonight.

People I've talked to -- just regular Thai folks -- are split between believing it was Muslim political violence or "regular" political violence. No one has taken credit yet, and there is ample reason to suspect either group. Most people just think whoever did it were a bunch of assholes. Whoever it was was coordinated as hell, because they hit multiple cities in Souhern Thailand with bombs believed to have been on timers. The part that Time leaves out is that there were three fake bombs found yesterday in Patong, a super-touristy area.
