A ship carrying about 100 people capsized on the Chao Phraya River in Thailand's Ayuttaya on Sunday afternoon, and four people have been confirmed dead.
Local officials said they cannot confirm the number of the wounded and missing passengers.
Ayutthaya provincial governor Prayoon Rattanaseni said he was informed of the incident at about 16:00 local time, and the ship might crash into the river bank and thus capsized, according to Thai media TNN.
The river flows rapidly at the scene, which makes it more difficult for the rescue work.
Passengers of the ship, mainly Thai Muslims from Nonthaburi province, were on their way to attend the opening ceremony of a newly-built mosque, Prayoon said.
