Australian teacher shot at while driving in Chiang Mai Thailand

A Melbourne teacher was treated in hospital after her car was allegedly shot at during a school trip in the north of Thailand.

Two teachers, from Ringwood Secondary College, were travelling in a car near Chiang Mai when the front windscreen shattered on Sunday.

One of the teachers, Lynda Cody, suffered a minor injury to the back of her head.

Thai police are investigating the incident and told the teachers their car may have been shot at.

The teachers were escorting a group of students to Thailand, but none of the students was in the vehicle.

They are due to return home on Wednesday.

The assistant principal has travelled to Thailand to provide support for the teachers.
