A Facebook user issued a warning after being woken in the middle of the night with a bang.
His phone that he was charging at the foot of the bed had exploded in flames.
He managed to put out the fire with a pillow and bedclothes though he burned his hand in the process.
He warned people not to charge phones near you at night.
Posters suggested that he was perhaps using a non standard charger or that his battery or even the phone itself was a fake.
Samsung could be seen on a battery next to the charred remains of the phone.
Some reports suggest that it might have been a lucky break that the phone was near the victim and not elsewhere in the house where a fire might have taken hold.
The story appeared on the Facebook page of “Narawit Phanom-Sarnarin” who said they were feeling scared.
