CHEMICALS at a factory just outside Bangkok burst back into flames briefly, sending another cloud of toxic black smoke into the air and highlighting the continuing health risk from an industrial accident that killed one and injured dozens.

It took firefighters more than 24 hours to put the fire out after it started with an explosion at about 3am on Monday, which could be heard for kilometres and shattered windows in nearby homes.
