When the ill-fated coach skidded off a road and crashed into a tree in Prachuab Khiri Khan province over the weekend, it claimed 14 victims on the scene, while two more succumbed to their injuries in the hospital.

 

Among the fatalities were two young women. Kalyakorn Poon-iad, 18, known among her friends as Dokkhem, boarded the coach with her mother, Lamai, from Bangkok to their hometown in Nakhon Si Thammarat province.

 

Kalyakorn was in Bangkok for an interview with Silpakorn University, as she wished to study IT there.

Absolutely tragic.... and nothing will be done again to curb public transport driving standards or conditions.
