One Filipino victim and two Chinese nationals were among those killed, outgoing police chief Somyot Pumphanmuang said. Twelve died at the scene and another four have since died in hospital, he said.

 

"We have not discarded any possible motive," he said at a news conference at the Royal Thai Police headquarters, located meters away from the scene of the attack. Despite media reports indicating one bomb was attached to a utility pole while a second detonated from a motorcycle, Somyot denied a car bomb was involved, saying it was planted on the scene.

Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said the bombers had "targeted foreigners... to damage tourism and the economy"

 

Not sure how he come to that conclusion. Surely if they were targeting foreigners then Nana Plaza would have been a better bet.
