Early on the morning of November 9, a tour bus traveling from Chanthaburi to Roi Et crashed after veering off the road near kilometre marker 9+550 on Highway 2081 in Tha Tum District, Surin Province. 

 

The bus, a double-decker carrying people headed for a Buddhist merit-making event, crashed on its way through Tha Tum just before reaching Chumphon Buri District.

 

Emergency responders from the Tha Tum Traffic Foundation and Pathum Thong Tha Tum Rescue Unit arrived at the scene around 05:10. They found the bus had left the road and was stopped in a waterway running parallel to the road.

 

A medical assessment found 11 passengers with minor injuries, which were treated on-site before emergency vehicles transported the injured to Tha Tum Hospital for precautionary checks.

 

To ensure the remaining passengers could continue their trip, nearby bus services were coordinated to transport them safely onward. The cause of the crash is currently under investigation, but authorities remind drivers to exercise caution on rural roads, especially during early morning hours.

They really need to get a second driver to take over when the other driver gets sleepy instead of just chugging down several Red Bulls
