Koh Samui, a fire broke out at a well-known coffee shop on Koh Samui on the morning of June 21 causing an estimated damage of over 5 million baht.

 

At 10:40 senior district officer Chatchai Manee received a report of a fire at the renowned coffee shop located approximately 100 meters from the Koh Samui District Office. Immediate coordination with the Koh Samui Municipality Fire Department, Surat Thani Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, Koh Samui Police, and Kusolsongkroh Foundation rescue workers ensued, with fire trucks dispatched to the scene.

 

The incident occurred at a famous coffee and dining establishment in Village No. 3, Ang Thong Sub-district. The four-story concrete building, popular among international tourists, had its second floor designated for events, while the third and fourth floors provided budget accommodations. The fire started on the rooftop, which had been modified into a private living space for the owner.

The owner reported that he was downstairs managing the business when someone alerted him to the smoke. He promptly contacted emergency services. Fortunately, himself, his daughter, and his wife were unharmed. However, he expressed concern for valuable possessions, including gold jewelry and numerous diamond items worth over 5 million baht. Authorities have secured the area, ensuring that the valuables remain on-site.

The exact cause of the fire is still unknown and will be investigated by forensic officials.
