In an industrial accident, on September 9, at a rubberwood processing plant in Chaiya District, Surat Thani, one person was killed and three others injured following an explosion in a storage silo. The incident occurred at the Promphat Rubberwood Factory in Moo 6, Mo Thai Subdistrict, where a manager tragically lost his life.

 

The deceased has been identified as Mr. Zhang Xuanjun, 46, a Chinese national and the factory manager. The injured include Mr. Banchob Kwanprao, 51, a Thai national; Mr. Yen Chailing, 55, also from China; and Mr. Angnai, 26, a Myanmar national. All three were rushed to Surat Thani Hospital for treatment.

 

 


According to initial reports, the explosion occurred inside the silo, which is used for storing rubberwood sawdust. The blast is believed to have caused the fatal fall of Mr. Zhang, throwing him from the area he was working and led to severe injuries to the others present in the area at the time. Rescue teams from Kuson Sattha Chaiya Foundation responded swiftly, and the deceased was transported to Surat Thani Hospital for autopsy.

 

Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion. Early speculation suggests that a buildup of pressure or combustible gases within the silo may have triggered the blast, but official findings are pending further investigation.
