BANGKOK: Three Thais were killed when a train crashed into a double-decker bus carrying holidaymakers as it was crossing the line, police said.

The bus was taking a group of workers from a nearby factory in Nakhon Pathom province, west of Bangkok to the southern island of Koh Samui for a holiday trip, according to local police officer Thanachot Shinwongsa yesterday.
