Thailand: Passengers scramble to escape burning ferry

More than 100 people were onboard a ferry as it caught ***** off the coast of southern Thailand on Thursday morning.

The ferry, an overnight service from Surat Thani to popular tourist island Koh Tao, was about to arrive at its destination when the ***** began.

Some passengers had to jump into the sea to escape the *****, according to AP news agency. Authorities confirmed that there were no injuries.

One of the passengers, Maitree Promjampa, told AP that he first heard a crackling sound, then smelled smoke. Less than five minutes later he saw flames, causing those on board to start shouting and ring the alarm.

The cause of the ***** has not been revealed.
