A visitor boat carrying a family of four caught fire off the shores of Koh Kut in Trat state on Friday, injuring at least two persons.
The Aor Subpiti went up in flames at around 11.40 am, prompting municipal government to intervene. One wounded person was reported aboard the first reports.
A family of four visitors and a two-person staff were reported aboard the ship. All patients were taken to Koh Kut Hospital with the assistance of individuals.
The home, which included a dad, mom, and two children, had left Koh Kood Cabana Resort and had taken a marine jumping trip with the ship. The boat’s engine apparently caught fire when they returned. The staff members suffered burns while assisting their customers ‘ return to shore.
When the last member of the crew who was still on the scene couldn’t extinguish the flames, he had to leave the ship and was taken away by a passing fishing vessel.
Just six people were aboard the ship at the time of the incident, according to local government, with the two crew members being the injured.
Because the motor adhered to safety standards, checks revealed that the fireplace was an accident.
The getaway area, where between 3, 000 and 4, 000 visitors are already residing for the Songkran vacation, has received a call for greater caution.
The boat’s user has been identified as Angkana Apibansri. Supawat Rojanamol, 18, and Manawat Bialy, 16, served as navigator. Manawat sustained severe wounds to his face and arms.
The community traveling with them was identified as Thai immigrants who had arrived on Thursday.
