Eight British tourists are in hospital, three seriously injured, after their passenger van crashed into the median railing on the Bangkok-Chon Buri motorway. The incident occurred about 10:30am on the Pattaya-bound side of the road. The driver, 53 year old Thanakorn To-iam, said he picked up the passengers at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok and was taking them to Pattaya when the van’s left rear tyre burst, causing it to swerve and hit the railing of the median.
All eight of the tourists received first aid at the scene before being taken to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.
Police are investigating.
