Thailand mourns tragic school bus fire claiming multiple young lives

A tragic school bus fire in Pathum Thani claimed the lives of over 20 students and teachers, with bodies found near the back of the bus. The incident occurred while 38 students and 6 teachers were en route to a learning centre. The fire was likely caused by a tyre explosion and contact with a barrier, causing panic as the bus filled with smoke. While some escaped, others were trapped. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra expressed deep sorrow and visited the victims. The government covers medical expenses and compensates families.
