Fire Destroys Abandoned Thai-Style House in Prachin Buri
A severe fire consumed an abandoned two-story wooden house in Kabin Buri, Prachin Buri, early on September 20, 2026.
On the early morning of September 20, 2026, a major fire broke out at an abandoned two-story wooden Thai-style house located in a residential area near a bank in Mueang Kao, Kabin Buri, Prachin Buri. According to Khaosod Online, the structure, built from aged wood, acted as highly flammable fuel, causing the blaze to intensify rapidly and send thick smoke into the night sky.
Local emergency services, including the Satcha Phuttham Foundation rescue team and four fire engines from the Mueang Kao Subdistrict Administrative Organization and the local municipality, were dispatched to the scene. Firefighters worked to contain the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring homes.
While the fire was successfully brought under control, the incident revealed a distressing scene beneath the house. Relatives of the former owner, who had already passed away, were present at the site. For residents and travelers in the area, this incident serves as a reminder of the fire risks associated with older, abandoned wooden structures in local communities. Authorities have not yet released a formal report regarding the specific cause of the ignition, and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the fire are ongoing.
