Boat catches fire near Koh Larn after captain tries to cook dinner

 

Picture: Sanook

 

The owner of a diving boat that caught fire off Koh Larn yesterday said that his captain admitted he was cooking a batch of curry on the second floor.

 

But he forgot about it while he was downstairs having a coffee and playing on his phone.

 

By the time he smelled smoke it was too late and Phaiboon, 59, and his wife couldn't tackle the blaze and fled their burning ship.

 

Jet-skis and nearby boats tacked the fire that burned out the entire top floor of the Saeng Arun.

 

Much diving equipment used in "seawalker" tours was damaged.

 

No injuries were reported in the incident.

This will, no doubt, become a re-occuring comment here, but "amazing, trusted Thailand". Im sure the upper crust tourists will arrive in droves.

Playing on the phone sounds a lot better than Playing on the deck hand

Know the feeling .. I put a mini pizza in the oven then got on TVF .. the next thing the smoke alarm was going off in the kitchen and the pizza looked like a cremated penny when I opened the oven ..

Should carry a warning .. Do not cook and talk gollocks on TV at the same time ..

'captain tries to cook'  It's nowhere near Australia.

It was hotter than he thought.

I hope he has a insurance so he can get little money.

The boy stood on the burning deck the captain blew his hooter the currys gone up in flames will have to stick to noodles 

[Matzzon 10,669]

Clearly a man that should consider taking his wife to a restaurant instead of cooking. Would have been much cheaper and probably much better.

Wonder of the insurance covers negligent cooking - he could regret that admission later

“By the time he smelled smoke it was too late and Phaiboon, 59, and his wife couldn't tackle the blaze and fled their burning ship.“

Maybe he should have asked his wife to do the cooking, then he could have done his manly duties as a Captain and then playing with his “phone“ or whatever he wants to call it.

'negligent cooking'  What a great phrase!

I can see it now:

Court official: "You are accused that on 3rd July you served over-cooked potatoes, and are therefore charged with negligent cooking, causing wilful suffering to the aforementioned vegetables."
