A remote-controlled bomb was triggered at a grocer in Thailand's southernmost province of Narathiwat Friday morning, but no one was wounded, police said.
Police said the five-kilogram bomb was hidden in front of a shop in Sungai Kolok district, with the intention to hurt villagers walking pass by.
The blast partially damaged the shop, according to police.
Officials, who blocked a road in front of the shop, went to investigate the scene for fear that there might be another bomb nearby.
Thailand's three southernmost provinces -- Narathiwat, Yala andPattani have been troubled with insurgency-related violence which has claimed more than 2,300 lives since it resumed in early 2004.
