At least 40 people were wounded after two bombs detonated outside a shop in the Pattani province of Thailand's violence-plagued south, police said.
The first explosive was packed inside a motorcycle parked in the car park, spreading panic among shoppers.
"The second blast was a huge car bomb, which occurred five minutes later and injured at least 40 people, while one is in a serious condition," said Captain Preecha Prachumchai of Pattani Police.
Pictures posted by rescue workers showed a thick plume of black smoke over the supermarket car park and a damaged store entrance.
Police were on the scene and appeared to be encouraging people to move back when the second blast struck.
"I heard a very loud explosion. Minutes after that, I heard the sirens of rescue cars and ambulances," said a resident who lives near the supermarket, on condition of anonymity.
"I feel bad about it … it happened at a place where people go to buy things."
