Helicopter crash near BTS maintenance site leaves two injured in Samut Prakan

A small helicopter crashed and caught fire near a BTS maintenance centre in Samut Prakan at around 9.10am on May 3. The pilot and mechanic inside escaped with minor injuries and were able to walk after the incident. Rescue workers, ambulances, and firefighters were sent to the scene, where the blaze took about an hour to bring under control. Officials said the helicopter, a two-seat Guimbal Cabri G2, belonged to a private factory and crashed roughly 100 to 200 metres from its landing area. Early reports suggest the aircraft may have hit grass or another obstruction while landing, though agencies are still investigating the exact cause.
