Currently, there are news articles about a ferry burning, a LOB sinking, and this one burning all in Thailand so it's easy to confuse the stories. Fortunately, this one was at the pier and almost unoccupied...

Dramatic footage captures a blazing inferno consuming the diving vessel Seaworld 1 near the Thap Lamu pier in the Phang Nga province of southern Thailand on April 2. Officials report that the scuba diving boat caught fire while anchored at the pier, with no passengers onboard at the time. The lone individual aboard was seen jumping into the water to escape the flames.
