At least seven people were killed and 90 injured in two bus accidents in Thailand Thursday.
In the first incident, a double-decker bus overturned on a main road in western Kanchanaburi province killing three passengers and injuring 39, Bangkok Post reported.
The accident occurred when the bus was ferrying dozens of passengers, mostly elderly people, from the capital Bangkok to attend Buddhist rites at a temple in Kanchanaburi.
