The tour bus driver quickly parked to have a look and upon seeing the engine on fire called out to the tour guide to get the tourists out, and fortunately they all did so without anyone getting injured.

Best laid plans.

I see an awful lot of large luggage (in the full article) being taken along considering this was just a tour to a "well-known restaurant". Perhaps the tourists were anticipating various contingencies. Welcome to Thailand. Be prepared.

A new trend in tourism preparedness.... Bring your own Fire Extinguisher!

They were prepared for the inevitable "brake failure" so packed for a possible hospital stay.

So glad to hear they escaped, these buses.. large and small.. on fire, in a ditch, head on collisions, etc.  So dangerous 

No alarms to alert the driver, this could have been a disaster, especially if the lpg went up with all on board, very lucky the motorist was able to stop the bus. 

Road transport safety authority should be kicked in the butt, shows a bad flaw in vehicle testing and safety.
