Bangkok : A Thai bus driver was killed and 17 Malaysian tourists injured when the tour bus they were travelling in, plunged into a ravine in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai Sunday.
Two other Malaysian tourists, a Thai tour guide and an assistant, escaped unhurt in the crash which occurred about 4pm.
A police spokesman said the injured who sustained cuts and bruises were sent to a nearby hospital for observation.
He said the bus was ferrying the 19 tourists to Doi Suthep, a hillside area located about 15km from Chiang Mai, and popular for its Buddhist temple, Wat Prathat when the accident occurred.
