25 people may have died in a school bus fire in Bangkok.
A tragic incident occurred in suburban Bangkok today, as a bus carrying young students and their teachers caught on fire. According to authorities and rescue workers, there are fears that 25 of the 44 passengers on board may have lost their lives.

The bus was en route from Uthai Thani province to Ayutthaya for a school trip when the fire broke out at noon in Pathum Thani province, a northern suburb of Bangkok. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungruengkit shared with reporters at the scene that the bus was carrying 44 passengers, including young students and their teachers.

Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul also expressed his condolences and stated that they are unable to confirm the exact number of fatalities at this time. However, based on the number of survivors, it is believed that 25 individuals have perished in this tragic event. The bus is still too hot for rescue workers to enter safely, hindering their efforts to confirm the number of casualties.

Heart-wrenching videos shared on social media captured the entire bus engulfed in flames, with thick black smoke billowing out as it was parked on the road. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and it is unclear at this time what sparked the deadly blaze. The age and identities of the students on board the bus have not yet been confirmed.

According to a rescuer at the scene, the fire is believed to have started after one of the tires exploded and the bus scraped against a road barrier. The rescue group Hongsakul Khlong Luang 21 also shared on their Facebook page that they have discovered at least 10 bodies inside the burnt bus.
