Nine passengers sustained injuries when a special express train bound for Bangkok derailed in Thailand's Kui Buri district, according to reports by The Bangkok Post.

The accident occurred around 5 am, involving three rear carriages of the 12-carriage train. The affected carriages came off the tracks but did not overturn. Among the injured were a Buddhist monk, a girl, and seven women, who were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
