Nakhon Ratchasima province

Nakhon Ratchasima province is a northeastern region in Thailand known for its rich history and cultural heritage. Recently, the province has been marred by two separate incidents involving construction cranes and trains. On January 14, 2026, at least 22 people were killed when a crane fell on a passenger train traveling from Bangkok to the province. This incident occurred just one day after another crane collapse in Samut Sakhon province killed dozens of people. The accidents have raised concerns about safety protocols and infrastructure in the region. With over 200 people injured, including those on the train, the incidents have significant implications for public health and transportation in Thailand. The authorities are investigating the causes of these accidents to prevent future tragedies.
