All nine people on board – two pilots and seven passengers – are feared to have perished, according to the authorities.

A search operation is currently underway in the province of Chachoengsao.

The plane was en route from Bangkok to Trat in the Gulf of Thailand, near the border with Cambodia, when it crashed on Thursday for unknown reasons.

The rescue efforts are being hampered by heavy rainfall. According to the authorities, some body parts as well as parts of the burned-out aircraft wreckage have been found.

Four Thais and five Chinese nationals were on board the ill-fated plane, according to reports in local media.
