Unknown make and model ICE vehicle of unknown age with known malfunctioning battery of unknown origin catches fire?

Ya think the security guard was paid off by the CCP agents infiltrated into every Thai bus company to ignore the loud explosion?

Pitiful. Your have obviously assumed this was down to a lithium ion battery otherwise your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the article, although it would be fair to wonder if indeed this was an EV battery fire. I did. What I didn't do was assume it was. 

"This is going to be the Next big thing, plenty of EV are catching fire because of Li-ion batterys"

Charging a lead acid battery produces flammable gas. The battery cell caps should be loosened or removed tp allow the gas to vent and prevent a buildup of pressure. Charging at too high a rate produces more gas. It is quite possible the subject battery burst its case producing the sound heard by the security guard.

all possible,  Forensic will need to check the battery the school should have done a risk assessment  they did identify the hazard but no action was taken to resolve the hazard

Thailand's gradual introduction over the past 15 years of regulations for bus safety laid out by the UNECE, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, a body responsible for establishing international standards in many areas. But application of these rules have been slow and piecemeal.

“The problem is most of the manufacturers in Thailand cannot reach that standard,” says Sumet Ongkittikul, a transport specialist at the Thailand Development Research Institute. “So the implementation has been delayed, to allow them to catch up.

“Also, the regulations only apply to new buses. But most of the buses operating in Thailand are old."

Modifying old bus chassis with new bodywork is a local industry, where safety standards are for the most part far behind those in many other countries.

UNECE regulation UN R118, which requires bus interiors to be made with non-flammable materials, was officially introduced in Thailand in 2022, but does not apply to buses made before then, or buses adapted using older chassis.

Yes - that's a very nice quote but you don't seem to want to put it isn context - in fact it looks like you don't actually understand it.

As usual, 25% of the replies assumed it was an EV fire. If they actually read the original post, they would have kept there mouths shut.
