The incident happened around 5 am near the Kui Buri railway station, when three of the rear carriages numbers 10, 11 and 12, came off the track but did not overturn, The Bangkok Post reported.

Among the injured were a Buddhist monk, a young girl, and seven women. Rescue teams transported all to Kui Buri and Prachuap Khiri Khan hospitals for treatment, The Bangkok Post said.

Passengers in the remaining nine carriages were assisted to continue their journeys by alternative transport arranged by the State Railway of Thailand (SRT).
