A total of 87 people have been killed after a plane crashed on landing in bad weather at the Thai resort of Phuket, CNN reported Monday.
The authorities confirmed they have found the two flight data recorders but they said it was too early to say what caused Sunday's crash.
Thailand's Transport Minister Theera Haocharoen said the black boxes would be sent to the United States for analysis.
The jet, carrying 123 passengers, a number of them foreigners form the US, France, Sweden, Iran and Australia, crashed after hitting the runway heavily in strong winds and heavy rain.
Passengers and crew - including dozens of European tourists - scrambled for the plane's emergency exits, trying to escape as flames spread through the aircraft, witnesses said.
Flight OG 269, operated by budget airline One-Two-Go, was landing after a journey from the capital, Bangkok.
