Earlier this week, a tragic bus fire in Bangkok, Thailand claimed 23 lives.
Only days later, a similar accident occurred in the Thai capital — this time involving a taxi.
On Saturday (5 Oct) morning, reports of a vehicle engulfed in flames on Rama 9 Road circulated on social media.
The fire was extinguished at 8.27am local time, with five people injured.

As reported by Thai news outlet Honkrasae, the victims were given first aid before being transported to a hospital.
Additionally, authorities temporarily closed the traffic lanes in the area.
Local news outlets reported that a female passenger had kicked the taxi door open to get everyone to safety.
One of the injured passengers is said to be a child. Though he sustained minor injuries, a man — allegedly the child’s father — is in the intensive care unit (ICU).
The police confirmed that the fire had nothing to do with the gas tank.
Further investigations are ongoing.
