PTT promises full compensation to Samut Prakarn gas explosion victims

PTT Plc will compensate 100 per cent of damage suffered by victims of a gas pipe explosion in Bang Bo district of Samut Prakarn province on Thursday afternoon, the company said.

Three people were killed, 52 injured, while nine houses and 20 vehicles were damaged.
Several fire engines spent around an hour to control the blaze, which originated from PTT’s underground gas pipe and covered the area of around 1km, forcing local residents to evacuate the area immediately, including students and staff from the local Preng Wisuttha Tipbodee School. The school building was also found to be damaged, but it is still not clear if the fire was the cause.
