A Bangkok Airways Airbus A319-100, registration HS-PGN performing flight PG-805 from Koh Samui (Thailand) to Hong Kong (China), was enroute at FL330 about 120nm eastnortheast of Bangkok (Thailand) when the crew decided to divert to Bangkok after a passenger's powerbank had caught fire. Cabin crew extinguished the fire and secured the device. The aircraft landed safely on Bangkok's runway 19 about 30 minutes later.

The aircraft remained on the ground in Bangkok for about 2:15 hours, then continued the flight and reached Hong Kong with a delay of about 3:10 hours.
