Historic Riverside House Collapses into Pa Sak River
An old wooden house along the Pa Sak River has completely collapsed into the water, leaving only the concrete pillars standing.
According to a report by Matichon Online on October 26, 2026, an aging wooden residence situated along the banks of the Pa Sak River suffered a total structural failure, collapsing entirely into the river. The incident left only the concrete support pillars remaining above the water line.
Local reports noted the tragic timing of the event, as the owner of the property had passed away only three months prior. The collapse highlights the ongoing risks associated with aging riverside infrastructure in the region, which can be susceptible to erosion and structural degradation over time.
For residents and travelers in the area, this incident serves as a reminder of the potential hazards posed by historic structures located directly on riverbanks, particularly those that may lack recent maintenance. While the immediate scene has been documented, authorities have yet to provide a detailed assessment regarding the cause of the collapse or whether there are broader concerns for neighboring properties. It remains to be confirmed if any debris from the structure poses a navigation hazard to river traffic or if further stabilization efforts will be required for the remaining foundation. Visitors are advised to exercise caution when near older riverside developments.
