A potentially catastrophic fire broke out on a tourist bus in Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima, on the evening of October 16. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as all passengers had left the bus moments before the blaze to have dinner.

 

The incident occurred along the old Mittraphap Road near Khao Khan Park, within the Pak Chong municipality. Authorities, including Pol. Lt. Col. Suraphat Phadee, Deputy Inspector of Pak Chong Police Station, and local officials, quickly responded to the emergency call. Fire trucks from Pak Chong Municipality and the surrounding areas rushed to the scene and extinguished the flames after a 30 minute effort.

 

 

The red and black Scania air-conditioned bus, carrying 50 Indonesian tourists, had just arrived from Bangkok for a visit to Pak Chong. As the tourists were being driven to a nearby restaurant for dinner, the fire erupted in the rear area of the bus. Local residents exercising in Khao Khan Park, along with Pak Chong Mayor Komkrit Limpanyalert, noticed the fire and rushed to assist with firefighting efforts.

 

Although the fire severely damaged the bus, the cause of the blaze remains unknown. Investigations reveal that the bus was running on diesel fuel only and there were no signs of mechanical failure. Thankfully, the tourists’ belongings, including their luggage, was mostly unharmed, with only some water damage.

 

Authorities have called in the Forensic Science Centre Region 3 to determine the cause of the fire.
 

Meanwhile, Pak Chong Municipality arranged alternative transport for the Indonesian tourists, who were safely taken to their hotel in Wang Sai Subdistrict, where their tour company had pre-booked accommodations.

oh dear Georgealbert,  It is difficult for me to read any bus fire stories after the recent horrible tragedy. 

 

It makes me sad, so I cannot comment.   Just thankful the passengers got off ok. 

 

A diesel leak that was near the battery terminal perhaps ... it can't be much else with a diesel 

Scania DSC9/DSC12 (Euro II) engine.

Another bus fire! We must assume it one that has not yet gone through the rigorous check up. Or maybe that was not necessary for diesel buses? Hmmm....until now it looks like! Just wondering how many years old this bus is, and how many miles it has been running on the same engine. Also, might there be any inspections that have been overlooked due to bribes because everyone knows it should be taken out of commission years ago?

Well, good, that nobody was injured. Personal belongings however are gone with the flames.

Apparently this bus escaped the checkup by authorities. 

As living or travelling in Thailand you should always aware of fatal accidents, coffin in sight.🥴
