Initial reports from Thailandese rescue workers said that the driver of the double-decker could have lost control of the bus causing it to invading the opposite lane and colliding with a trailer truck coming from the opposite direction.
The bus, which was heading to Kalasin after a sight-seeing trip in Chanthaburi, a province located in eastern Thailand, was carrying about 50 people.
The impact of the collision sent both vehicles to plunge into the roadside ditch.
Authorities reported that six men and ten women have lost their lives and said that more than 30 people have been injured.
