Five individuals, including two foreigners, sustained injuries when an empty boat collided with their express boat on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok on Thursday.
The Marine Department reported that the incident occurred at 12:34 PM near the entrance of the Bangkok Noi Canal, when the empty Wan-Ngarm Nawa 8, which was headed for the canal, struck the right side of the Chao Phraya Express 194.
Five passengers—three Thais and two foreign men—on the Chao Phraya Express 194 suffered minor injuries and were taken to Siriraj Hospital for treatment.
The impact caused damage to the roof and five roof poles of the Chao Phraya Express 194. The Marine Department is currently investigating the cause of the collision.
This incident follows a previous accident two months ago, in which four Chinese tourists were injured when a long-tailed tour boat collided with a Royal Thai Navy ferry near the Tha Tien pier.
