Fire Destroys Iconic "Ship Hotel" on Koh Chang

A massive fire engulfed Koh Chang’s iconic abandoned ship hotel, the Koh Chang Grand Laguna, on December 3. The blaze, fueled by wooden structures and strong winds, has consumed about 50% of the landmark, making containment efforts by over 50 responders challenging. Reportedly starting during welding repairs, the fire has spread from the ship's stern to upper decks, with authorities estimating days to fully extinguish it. Built in 1992, the unique ship-like hotel once thrived but was abandoned due to financial issues. No casualties were reported, and investigations into the fire's cause are pending.
