Two Thai tourists, who were part of the group of 26 Thais injured in a bus crash in Turkey, were pronounced dead on Friday morning, according to the Thai embassy in Ankara.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry said it had received information from the Royal Thai Embassy in Ankara on Thursday that the tourist bus, carrying 26 Thais, had crashed into a roadside signpost, resulting in injuries.

The ministry said two Thais were reported dead on Friday morning, and one Turkish individual was also reported dead. Their names were not released.

The 24 injured Thais were hospitalised in several hospitals, with some already recovering and being discharged.

The embassy has been in contact with the hospital and the tourist agency.

The ministry added that if the families were unable to contact the tourist agency, they could reach out to the Consular Department or the Royal Thai Embassy in Ankara for more information and assistance.
