The most devastating explosion occurred overnight in Hua Hin on a busy street filled with bars and restaurants. HUA HIN, Thailand — Attackers using firebombs and homemade explosives struck a series of popular resort cities and beach towns across Thailand in some of the worst violence to hit the country since a military coup two years ago. ___This story has been corrected to show that Phuket’s Loma Beach was hit, not Patong Beach, and that there were four explosions in Hua Hin, not three. Gen. Sithichai Srisopacharoenrath, the superintendent of police in Hua Hin, said the bombs were hidden inside potted plants and were set off by remote control, about half an hour apart. Two more detonated half an hour apart in front of two police stations in Surat Thani in southern Thailand, killing one and wounding three.
