Why do Thais always  exaggerate insurance  claims  by such a ridiculous  factor? 3m house doubles it's price when burnt down despite the fact that the value is in the  land not the building on it.  And that is a speedboat  not a yacht! How  stupid  do they think claims adjusters are?

It may look like a small boat because the windscreen has gone, but if you look at the portholes: each one is a cabin or heads. It's well over a million USD worth new. That's a yacht, over 50 foot.

Deceptive photo in the original post

Look at the one in JeffersLos link above.

48 foot yacht?

The yacht has the name "Aew" (name transliterated from Thai and possibly incorrect) and is registered to Suphalak Ampuch an executive of a famous Bangkok mall, reported Naew Na.
 
It was still legally licensed. 

 

The grammar here suggests that despite being owned by a rich Bangkok businesswoman, it was still legally licensed.

Amazing how often these boats just seem to catch fire ????????

If it was an insurance job it wasn't exactly the location I'd choose. And they can catch fire readily if the maintenance isn't up to scratch or they forget to turn the engine-room fans on etc. Diesel leaks, exhaust leaks, failed turbos, wiring, piles of oily rags..

He said damage to the yacht was in the order of 30 million baht.

The cruiser is probably half that brand new... if it's got all the bells & whistles.

Including a working fire extinguisher system.
