Chinese tourists escape Phuket bus fire without injury
Twenty-six Chinese tourists had a lucky escape after their bus burst into flames in a Phuket street on Saturday evening.
The tour bus caught fire at about 6pm as it was heading southbound along Thepkasatri Road, opposite the Isuzu showroom.
The group, which had only just arrived the night before, was returning from a trip to the islands off Phuket and heading to their hotel.
The driver smelled smoke coming from the engine compartment, pulled over and got all the passengers off the bus before fire engulfed the vehicle.
Local villagers came to the rescue with chemical extinguishers, but it was not until emergency services arrived that the fire was brought under control.
