🚆 Hold onto your hats, travel lovers! An express train in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, southern Thailand, derailed on Saturday morning, leaving 10 passengers injured.
According to local media, the train was en route from Bangkok to a popular beach destination when several carriages jumped the tracks near Hua Hin. Witnesses describe a sudden jolt and a cloud of dust as the train came to a halt. 😮
First responders rushed to the scene, and all injured passengers were treated on-site or taken to a nearby hospital. While the injuries are mostly minor—from cuts to bruises—the accident has shaken confidence in the rail network.
Railway authorities have launched an investigation to find out what went wrong: track conditions, mechanical issues, or human error. This derailment comes at a busy time for Thailand's railways as the country ramps up tourism this season. 🌴
What's next? Officials promise greater safety checks and public updates as the probe continues. Meanwhile, travelers are advised to check service notices and plan alternative routes if they're heading south.
Stay safe on your next trip, and keep riding smart! 🚉✨
