A small town in central Thailand, Lan Sak, is mourning the loss of 23 children and teachers who tragically died in a bus fire while on a school trip. The bodies of the victims were returned to Wat Khao Phraya Sangkharam, a Buddhist temple in Lan Sak town, where residents and monks gathered to pay their respects.
The school the children attended is located on the temple grounds, a common practice in rural Thailand. The bodies of the victims were received by grieving relatives who had traveled to Bangkok to help identify the severely burned victims.
