Thailand School Bus Tragedy: Teacher’s Sacrifice Moves Many

 



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.
