The fire was reported during the morning when Pol. Lt. Pornthep In-ai, an investigator at Phu Phiang Police Station, received a notification from the Nan 191 radio centre. He informed Pol. Col. Chanyut Chaimano, superintendent of Phu Phiang Police Station, and relevant agencies before travelling to the scene in Tha Nao subdistrict, Phu Phiang district.

Firefighters and emergency personnel from several local organisations attended the incident. These included teams from Tha Nao, Fai Kaeo, Muang Tit and Na Pang Subdistrict Administrative Organisations, Nan Provincial Administrative Organisation, local rescue units and the Nan Municipality Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office. Acting Major Natt Thiansut, Deputy Mayor of Nan Municipality, directed the firefighting operation.

Investigators found that the fire had started in the resort’s office building before spreading to a wooden structure housing the restaurant and coffee shop. Fire crews worked for approximately two hours before bringing the blaze under control and preventing it from reaching other buildings.

Initial assessments showed that the office building and some other structures suffered serious damage. The total financial cost of the fire has not yet been determined and remains under evaluation.

Authorities believe the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit. However, police and relevant agencies are continuing to examine the scene and gather evidence to establish the exact cause.

The incident has highlighted the importance of regular electrical system inspections and fire safety measures at hotels, resorts, restaurants and other businesses. Emergency preparedness plans and properly maintained fire prevention equipment can help reduce the risk of damage to property and potential loss of life. ThaiRath reported that officials will continue their investigation in the coming days.
