Three Boats Engulfed in Flames on the Chao Phraya River

A fire broke out at Wat Ratchasingkhon pier in Bangkok, quickly spreading from one empty passenger boat to two others moored nearby. The blaze caused the vessels to break loose and drift into the river before firefighters contained the flames within half an hour. No injuries were reported, but two boats were severely damaged while another sustained partial damage. Investigators are probing electrical faults or battery issues as possible causes of the incident. The fire raised new concerns about safety protocols for passenger boats along the busy waterway.
