A Bangkok-bound freight train derailed near the Bang Saphan railway station in Prachuap Khiri Khan province on Saturday morning. Nobody was hurt but services on three southern routes were affected.

The seven-car freight train No 986 travelling from Sungai Kolok to Bangkok derailed about 100 metres before it was to arive at the Bang Saphan Yai station, said Ekkarat Sriarayanpong, public relations director of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT)..............

To me that looks like a passenger train. Perhaps combined purpose, or humans are considered freight here these days?

When I read the OP I thought 7 cars was a bit small for freight. Freight trains are often 20 cars + when I'm held up at railway crossings.

Reasonable bet they don't want to scare the tourists with train travel plans.

LOL - Derailment is the least of their problems on that line.
