A fire at a pier on the Chao Phraya river damaged three electric tour boats moored there for recharging, in Phra Pradaeng district on Tuesday morning.
The fire was reported about 7.20am.
The pier is rented by Mine Mobility Research Co, which offers charging services for electric boats.
A security guard said the fire started when the battery on one tour boat exploded. The flames spread to several other boats nearby, he said.
