Nearby they found a dead chicken and 42 year old Chockchai Theptawee who had sustained injuries including burns on his legs and face. He was taken to Krabi Hospital.
Mr Chockchai told Police that a customer asked him to drill an empty oil tank to install a faucet. The customer confirmed to Mr Chockchai that there was no oil left in the oil tank as the tank has already been cleaned.
Mr Chockchai used iron cutting equipment to drill the tank. But, surprise, suddenly the tank exploded and caught fire.
RIP the chicken.
