British tourists are among more than 100 people killed and injured in a plane crash in Thailand.
A total of 123 passengers - mostly foreign tourists - and seven crew members are believed to have been on the budget One-Two-Go Airlines domestic flight from Bangkok.
Thai officials says more than 87 bodies have already been recovered from the wreckage and another 42 people taken to hospital after the crash on the country's tourist island of Phuket. Those on the plane included 78 foreigners.
They believe the plane split into two parts after it crashed due to bad weather and skidded off the runway.
The Foreign Office do not yet know how many Britons were on the flight and whether they got out alive, although some reports have suggested eight British people did survive.
A spokeswoman said: "We understand there may have been British nationals on the flight but there is no confirmation or any details about the casualties or fatalities as yet.
"Our main concern is trying to establish if or how many Britons there were on the flight. If there were any on it, our top priority is their welfare."
Representatives of the British Honorary Consul in Phuket are at the scene and an embassy team, led by the ambassador, is already on its way on a flight from Bangkok, she added.
Phuket's Deputy Governor Worapot Ratthaseema said officials have counted at least 87 bodies, which have been laid out in airport building.
He did not have exact details of how many foreigners had died but that they included Irish, Israeli, Australian and British passengers.
