An engine fire ruins Russians Thailand fishing trip

An engine fire on a fishing boat brought a climactic end to a day trip for 80 Russian tourists.

The tourists had spent the day aboard the fishing vessel in the waters off Bang Saray, south of Pattaya. As the boat was coming back to Pattaya in the early evening, a fire broke out in the engine room.

Fortunately, the crew were able to douse the flames after an anxious 10 minutes during which the tourists were thinking they were getting a little more excitement than they had bargained on.
