Two trains were involved in a minor collision at Hua Lamphong station on Thursday morning, resulting in the derailment of a stationary freight train. The freight train had been parked at a station platform for several days, awaiting repairs, the State Railway of Thailand said. At 6.35am, station staff approved the departure of another train from the platform, but the locomotive coupling disconnected and it rolled into the parked train. There were no injuries, but the platform received minor damage. — Jiraporn Kuhakan

A passenger train overran the tracks and crashed through a flower bed in Bangkok last Thursday (March 11).
The locomotive was empty while preparing for the journey from the Hua Lamphong train station to neighbouring province Chachoengsao.
However, the driver lost control of the train and smashed through a metal barrier hitting a flower bed at the end of the line. A large pink orchard was knocked onto the ground before the train was brought to a stop.
Officials said that there were no passengers on board at the time and no injures were reported, except the train drivers ego.
