BANGKOK, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) — At least 13 people have been killed, 30 others injured and dozens have gone missing after a ship carrying about 100 people capsized in Chao Phraya River in Ayutthaya Sunday afternoon.
Authorities said they are using a crane to lift the ship.
Ayutthaya provincial governor Prayoon Rattanaseni said earlier that he was informed at about 16:00 local time, and the ship might crash into river bank and thus capsized, according to Thai media TNN.
Passengers of the ship, mainly Thai Muslims from Nonthaburi province, were on their way back to the province after attending a ceremony in a mosque in Ayutthaya.
