At least 13 people died and many more are feared missing after a boat with pilgrims capsized north of Bangkok, Thai media reported Sunday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The double-deck boat was carrying some 150 Muslim tourists returning from a trip to the city of Ayutthaya when it hit a bridge on the Chao Praya River and partially submerged, the Bangkok Times newspaper said.

The outlet quoted police who said there were six men, six women and a child among the dead, although the exact number of passengers was still to be determined. The skipper reportedly fled after the boat began to sink.
