Chiang Rai: Fire in Ban Na Kham community, Sri Songkhram District, Nakhon Phanom Province: A fire in the Ban Na Kham community has resulted in the destruction of nine old wooden houses.

According to Thai News Agency, the fire began in a residential house within the Na Kham sub-district and rapidly engulfed the surrounding area. The densely populated community, characterized by its decades-old wooden houses raised on stilts, facilitated the swift spread of the flames.

Despite their efforts, it took hours to bring the fire under control. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries or fatalities.
