The fire was reported to have broken out from the machinery area, as soon as the fire broke out, the tourists broke bus’ window in order to escape the fire. A witness that was on the bus told the police that as the bus driving to their destination, a loud thud was heard from the machinery room on the of the tour bus. The driver of the tour bus then stopped the bus and tried to see what had happened, but since the electronic side of the bus was incapacitated, he couldn’t access the machinery area.

Investigation officers are now investigating in order to find the cause of the fire, the 3 injured tourists are all safe.

It seems the world is a dangerous place for Chinese tourist these days.

plenty of imported/local buses on the highways these days, good time to launch a campaign to audit the safety of all buses in the kingdom, fleecing aside it just makes sense to crackdown once in a while to keep things kinda under control..

Are these things checked out, ever? maybe, "after a problem is encountered" but unlikely in respect of preventive maintenance.

Look at their cars, Thais keep their cars clean but maintenance "forget it"

I am curios - what would constitute a troll post on a subject like this?

[SinglePot]

sounds like mechanical failure in the machinery area.

Doesn't look like a Mercedes Benz or a Volvo.

Investigation officers are now investigating

Didn't you read the article? The driver went to check it. No point in building a fence unless the cow actually escapes.

They were probably injured in the "riot", not by the fire !

The only time I have ever seen Chinese tourists riot is when they are in a shop or market trying to get a good deal.

many a true word is spoken in jest.

Try being stuck in a 22 hour flight with a group of Chinese tourists from Narita to Minneapolis/St. Paul. Worst.Flight.Ever. The seatbelt sign was on and the planes going to the runway about to take go take off, this dude jumps out of his seat to go to the overhead compartment, then 3 more do the same. The flight attendants were not happy at all.

Yep. Seen it too. 4 hrs BKK-Beijing.

22 Jeez.
