    EIGHTEEN tourists who departed from Shenzhen and were involved in a bus accident in Thailand have bought air tickets to return home, the city’s tourism authorities said yesterday, without revealing the date of their return.

    The tourists are from several provinces and cities including Shenzhen. They are all in good condition, according to the authorities.

    The bus overturned on an expressway while avoiding an oncoming vehicle between Pattaya and Bangkok on Tuesday. Fifteen people were injured.

    The tourists organized their tour to Thailand through a Web site named “Blue Ribbon.” They arrived in Bangkok last Friday and had planned to return today.
