Six foreign tourists and four other people were killed yesterday when their coach, bound for Koh Pha Ngan, blew a tyre at high speed, veered into a divider strip and slammed into a power pole before flipping on its side in a ditch.

Six tourists dead in coach crash - provide Bt30,000 per deat
The death toll from Tuesday's bus accident in Surat Thani rose to 11 after one of the victims succumbed to injuries yesterday.
Dhipaya Insurance company said it was paying Bt400,000 per death, while the bus operator, Transport Co, will provide Bt30,000 per death.
The latest victim to succumb to his injuries at Surat Thani Hospital has been identified as Komsan Nontasahakit, 36, while four of the injured victims were discharged from hospital yesterday.
Wuttichat Kanlayanamit, managing director of Transport Co, and Sanya Bunyapukna from the insurance company, visited the 12 victims still being treated in hospital of whom eight are foreigners. Doctors have said that all the injured victims were in a safe condition.
Meanwhile, Wuttichat said his company would provide Bt30,000 for every victim killed and Bt10,000 to each injured passenger, though it might consider increasing the compensation if the cause of the accident is determined. He said he thinks the accident might have been caused by two factors: the driver's carelessness or a tyre exploding, which made the driver lose control. However, he said, the vehicle was relatively new and had only covered 200,000 kilometres.
