Tourists injured in Thailand train accident

None

A passenger train derailed on old tracks in the mountains of northern Thailand early Wednesday, slightly injuring at least 30 passengers, mostly foreign tourists. It was the second derailment on the popular route in a month.

 

The overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai skidded off the tracks and seven out of 10 carriages flipped onto their sides, State Railway of Thailand governor Prapas Jongsanguan said. Prapas said one passenger was seriously injured. The rest suffered minor injuries and were provided free transport to their destinations. (AP)
