There has been no clarification in any of the reports as to the size of the gas canister in the incident. All reports in both English and Thai have used the word canister and not cylinder. Also normally if a large cylinder was involved, the images from the scene normally shows responders removing this to safety. This has not been shown here, but that is not proof one was not involved. My personal guess, would be this was a small canister, in use, that leaked and resulted in a vapour explosion. The images of the burns, not shown in OP, look like flash burns, the type caused by limited exposure to the resulting fire ball and not prolonged exposure. Again without being at the scene, this is just an opinion, but the forsensic team will have no problem reviewing and determining the cause.
