Rescue workers gather around a train after it derailed near the Thai city of Hua Hin south of Bangkok October 5, 2009. A passenger train bound for Bangkok derailed in Thailand's Hua Hin coastal resort district in heavy rain early on Monday, killing at least five people and injuring up to 50, local media reports said. About six of the train's 16 cars went off the tracks and some people were believed trapped, reported Jor Sor Roi, a Bangkok radio station, quoting rescue workers at the scene.
