Police suspect the driver of a bus carrying 23 Filipino tourists from Bangkok to Phuket overnight Monday fell asleep at the wheel, resulting in a 100-metre off-road detour that left him and a passenger injured.
There were no indications on the asphalt that Thaweesak Chidkua, 36, had applied the brakes before striking a road sign and careening off south-bound Phetkasem Road near the Ban Luek-Haad Phan Krai intersection in Chumphon at about 4.45am.
