It is highly appreciated if someone could give me an explanation about the differences between the above two phrases: no wonder and no wonders.
I am not sure whether an example of sentence will help you clarify the differences out or not. The following is a sentence I came across in a science book:
No wonders so many businessmen are convinced it will become a powerful engine of economic growth.
Thank you so much for any information.

Personally, I think the 's' is a misprint, but it could be used in another English than mine. Googling 'no wonder/wonders that' (the usual collocation) gives me 800,000 hits for the former and 250 for the latter.

Using "wonder"
e.g.
No wonder so many businessmen are convinced (that) it will become a powerful engine of economic growth.
If you want to use "wonders"
e.g.
No one/nobody wonders WHY so many businessmen are convinced (that) it will become a powerful engine of economic growth.
