The gas explosion on New Phetchaburi Road in Bangkok was a major disaster in Thailand.
It took place on 24 September 1990, when a liquid petroleum gas tanker truck crashed on the expressway exit at New Phetchaburi Road, causing large explosions and fires that burned through 51 shop-houses for over 24 hours.
88 people died, 36 were injured and 67 cars were destroyed, making it one of the deadliest man-made disasters in Thailand.
