A saleng (motorbike side car) has caught fire after a cooking gas leak today (June 22) in Kathu.

 

Officers at the Kathu Municipality were notified about the incident on Phra Phuket Kaew Road near the Bang Chak Gas Station around 11am. Kathu Police and fire fighters arrived at the scene to find a Honda and its side car (saleng) on fire.

 

It took 20 minutes for fire fighters to put out the fire. Motorists nearby had to be blocked whilst the gas bottle used up its fuel. The saleng was totally destroyed.
