Fire Fire Erupts at Popular Chachoengsao Mall Restaurant – Entire Floor Engulfed in Smoke

Panic erupted at a well-known shopping mall in Chachoengsao on the evening of 29 June, after a fire broke out at a Japanese barbecue restaurant on the ground floor, prompting an evacuation and a large-scale emergency response. The incident occurred around 20:30 at a mall located in Na Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District. Police Lieutenant Chalermphon Satharam from Mueang Chachoengsao Police Station received an emergency report and immediately coordinated with the municipal fire brigade, dispatching fire engines to the scene. The blaze is believed to have started from a grill inside the restaurant before quickly spreading to wall partitions and ceiling structures, sending dense smoke billowing throughout the floor. The restaurant, located near a side exit of the mall, became the centre of firefighting operations. Firefighters divided into two teams: one team attacked the flames directly inside the restaurant, while the other deployed powerful exhaust fans to ventilate smoke from the premises. Fine water mist was sprayed to prevent the smoke from backing into the building, helping to maintain visibility and air quality. Thermal imaging equipment was brought in to detect lingering heat, which revealed multiple hotspots hidden in air conditioning ducts lined with flammable insulation. Firefighters were forced to dismantle sections of the ceiling and interior walls to reach and cool these areas to prevent re-ignition. Despite the scale of the fire and the intensity of the smoke, no injuries or casualties were reported. Mall staff were praised for acting swiftly to evacuate all customers and employees before emergency crews arrived. Preliminary inspections estimate that around 70% of the restaurant was damaged, including partition walls, ductwork, seating, barbecue equipment, refrigeration units and other electrical appliances. The firefighting effort lasted over two hours, with crews working into the night to fully extinguish the flames and secure the area. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, though it is suspected to have originated from either a malfunction or misuse of grilling equipment. Authorities commended the coordinated efforts of fire crews, mall security, and emergency services, whose timely response ensured the safety of all involved.

Accident Mother Carrying Baby, Killed by Taxi on Zebra Crossing in Pathum Thani
They are the most unsafe places to cross a road. Never assume, that as a pedestrian, you are safe to cross at a zebra crossing because so many drivers have a contrary opinion and never slow down for them. Be afraid at zebra crossings. Very, very afraid. -

Crime Car Recovered from Former Quarry in Trang May Be Linked to Buried Murder Case
Picture courtesy of Amarin. Authorities in Trang province are investigating a possible link between a submerged vehicle discovered in an abandoned quarry and the gruesome murder of a 33-year-old man whose body was found buried in woodland just a day earlier. The dramatic recovery operation unfolded on the afternoon of 30 June in Ban Hin Thaen, Moo 4, Khao Poon subdistrict, Huai Yot district, after local residents noticed unusual tyre tracks and disturbed ground near the edge of the disused “Ai Ban” quarry. The location, a former mining site now filled with water up to six metres deep, had recently been visited by villagers tending nearby durian orchards. Rescue personnel from Sawang Phakdee Trang (Huai Yot unit), provincial forensic police, Huai Yot district police officers, divers, local administrators and residents were mobilised to assist in retrieving the vehicle. Divers worked for over 30 minutes under difficult conditions, hindered by tangled fishing lines and submerged tree stumps. Eventually, divers located a white Toyota Vios sedan without registration plates, submerged roughly 20 metres from the shore. A four-wheel-drive vehicle was used to haul it from the water, a process that took more than two hours. The car was found with the front end angled downward at 45 degrees. The windows were all rolled down, the windscreen was shattered, and the interior was packed with mud. No bodies were found inside. Police Colonel Sanit Phonphet, Superintendent of Huai Yot Police Station, confirmed that the vehicle may be connected to the murder of Mr Taweechai Promsongchan, known by the nickname “Tong,” who was discovered buried in a grove in Moo 6, Napla subdistrict, Mueang Trang district, on 29 June. Investigations into his death are ongoing, and officers are now working to determine whether the car played any role in the crime. Rescue officials reported that the vehicle had likely been submerged in approximately one metre of silt. Its discovery followed reports from local villagers who observed a suspicious vehicle entering the area in the early hours of the morning, around 03:00. Witnesses noted that the car remained parked by the quarry through the night and was not seen leaving. Mr Boonchuea Kaewsaen, Mayor of Khao Poon Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, and Village Headman Narongchai Maneechot, stated in interviews that it was a concerned local resident who first raised the alarm after spotting the suspicious activity and realising no vehicle had exited the site. Authorities were quickly notified and secured the area. At present, police are still trying to identify the owner of the vehicle and its potential connection to Mr Taweechai’s murder. Forensic experts are expected to conduct a thorough examination of the car for further evidence. The discovery has raised alarm within the local community, already unsettled by the recent murder case. Police have urged the public to come forward with any information and assured that all leads will be thoroughly investigated.
