A tragic accident in Thailand has left communities in
mourning after a school bus fire claimed the lives of at least 23 to 25 people,
including students and teachers. The accident occurred while a school group
from Wat Khao Phra Ya Sangkharam School in Uthai Thani province was traveling
from Ayutthaya Historical Park to the Phra Ram 6 Electricity Generation Office
in Nonthaburi.
According to reports, the bus, which was carrying 44
people—mostly students between the ages of three and nine—lost control when a
tire burst on the outskirts of Nonthaburi in northern Bangkok. The bus collided
with a road barrier, causing its compressed gas fuel tank to ignite.
Video footage of the incident, showing the bus engulfed
in flames with thick smoke rising, circulated widely on social media, sparking
shock and sorrow. Among the three teachers who lost their lives was Kanokwan
Sripong, who has been hailed for her selfless act of trying to save the
children.
Kanokwan’s mother reportedly tried to contact her,
unaware of the unfolding tragedy. In a poignant detail, the young teacher had
recently celebrated her graduation on September 26, just days before the
accident. Her sacrifice has touched hearts across Thailand and beyond.
