Dozens of tourists swam for their lives to escape a burning speedboat off the coast of Thailand this morning. The 33 holidaymakers and four Thai crew were sailing on the vessel, Tana Marine 555, from Phuket to Koh Mai Thon when it caught fire 50ft from the shore. They jumped overboard to escape the roaring flames and were rescued by a passing boat. Footage shows black smoke plumes billowing from the speedboat lodged between rocks as it was engulfed in flames. Nachapong Pranit, director of the Phuket Marine Office, said authorities deployed a rescue team after receiving a report at 9:20 am. Emergency responders arrived and found the passengers watching the wreckage burn from a distance. All 37 onboard the boat were taken to a hospital for treatment in Phuket.
