The accident, which took place in Prachinburi province, also left more than 30 others injured with five in a critical condition.
The students, aged 10 to 14 years old, were heading to the resort city of Pattaya from the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima.
The police said 11 of them died at the scene, adding that the bus’s brakes may have failed or the driver might have fallen asleep.
