Accident Passengers Evacuated After Bus Crashes into Power Pole at Bangkok Intersection
Indian Students Injured as Shuttle Bus Crashes into Utility Pole in Bangkok Pictures courtesy of Amarin. Eleven people were injured, two seriously, when a shuttle bus transporting Indian students from Suvarnabhumi Airport to the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) suffered brake failure and crashed into a utility pole on Phahonyothin Road. The incident occurred at 11:08, near the Khor Por Or (KPO) intersection in northern Bangkok. The bus, carrying approximately 45 Indian students, was en route from the airport when it reportedly lost braking control while descending an off ramp, near the Kaset Subdistrict Office intersection. According to eyewitnesses and preliminary reports, the driver struggled to control the vehicle after the brakes failed. Upon approaching the intersection, where a car was stopped at a red light, the driver swerved left in an attempt to avoid a collision. This manoeuvre caused the bus to strike a tree and then crash into a utility pole, causing significant damage. Two of the injured, a local tour guide and a student, are reported to be in serious condition. All injured passengers were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. The bus driver confirmed to authorities that the vehicle ran on diesel and not compressed natural gas (CNG), ruling out any gas leak risk at the scene. Emergency responders and traffic police quickly cordoned off the left lane of the road to manage traffic and facilitate the removal of the bus. An investigation into the mechanical failure and safety compliance of the vehicle is currently underway. Meanwhile, officials from the transportation department have been dispatched to inspect the wreckage and assess potential risks for similar transport services. The crash follows a string of recent transport incidents, raising fresh concerns over vehicle safety and maintenance standards for buses serving both locals and tourists.

Wise Transfers Successful
Also made 2 transfers in the last week from Wise UK to Kasikorn. 20,000 each time. First took 3 hours, second 7 seconds. The problems seem unpredictable but perhaps more frequent if a US bank is involved and/or destination is Bangkok bank. -
