A fire ripped through an ornamental boat that was built to celebrate Buddhist Lent in Nakhon Phanom in northeast Thailand on Thursday evening.

Footage captured by shocked devotes showed the inferno engulfing the structure as other locals fled in panic.

Fire crews arrived at the festival to extinguish the blaze. There were no injuries and organisers said they were investigating the cause of the fire at the Lai Reur Fai Festival.

The Lai Reur Fai Festival, also known as the Fire Boat Festival, is held annually to mark the end of Buddhist Lent.

The main attraction of the festival is the launching of elaborately decorated boats onto the Mekong River.
