I myself had seen on numerous occasions in the boat Lagoon and especially Ao Chalong, Thai boat boys (and that's what they are boys) smoking cigarettes and mucking around with their speed boats. I saw two boats myself in Ao Chalong burn up this way on different times. Also notice none of the other boats had any fire extinguishers to help spray on the boat. Just wait after a dozen foreigners are burnt dead they might follow some marine laws.
