Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont on Monday pledged to provide full assistance to the victims of a budget airline crash in Phuket Island over the weekend that killed at least 90 people, many of them foreigners.
"The government and government agencies will provide our full assistance to the victims and their relatives," said Surayud, visiting relatives at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport.
The prime minister had to cancel plans to fly to Phuket, 640 kilometres south of Bangkok, as the island's airport remained closed Monday.
Investigators of the crash have already found the two black box flight recorders on the One-Two-Go budget airline that crashed after landing Sunday afternoon in a rain storm.
Phuket deputy governor Worraphot Ratsrima said the black boxes will be sent to the US for analysis, with results expected within seven days.
