TAK, July 1 (TNA) -- A double-decker bus carrying Myanmar workers caught fire on a steep section of Tak-Mae Sot Road in the provincial seat of Tak province at about 4.50pm on Sunday.
The orange bus registered in the southernmost province of Narathiwat caught fire in its rear engine room when it was transporting illegal Myanmar migrants to the border in Mae Sot district of Tak for their repatriation. About 50 Myanmar men and women ran for life from the bus. No one was injured.
The fire engulfed the whole vehicle in about five minutes. Police closed traffic at the scene and paralyzed traffic for farther than one kilometer on the inbound side of the road towards Mae Sot.
Other vehicles were deployed to send the migrants to the border. Police were investigating the cause of the fire. (TNA)
