Thailand wants to strengthen safety at railway crossings after the tragedy in Makassar.

Following the tragedy in Makkasan, Thailand wants to strengthen safety at railway crossings Following the high-profile accident in the Makkasan district of Bangkok, Thai authorities have begun discussing urgent measures to improve safety at railway crossings. The Parliamentary Committee on Transport held an emergency meeting with representatives from the railway, police, and transport services. The main topic is how to avoid a repeat of such tragedies. Proposals include: expanding the video surveillance system, updating signaling and warnings, and strengthening coordination between the police and railway services. The investigation revealed several problems, including human error and overwork of employees at the crossings. According to the commission, a station worker did not stop traffic in time before the train approached. Strengthening personnel control is also being discussed, including regular drug and alcohol testing.
