A toy shop in Pathum Thani’s Sam Khok district was almost completely destroyed by fire on the evening of 28 December, following an explosion that was heard moments before the blaze erupted.

 

At approximately 21:30 Pol Lt Col Watcharapong Thienprathum, an investigator from Sam Khok Police Station, received reports of a fire at Aiyu Toys, located on Pathum-Sam Khok Road. Firefighters from the Sam Khok Municipality, along with volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, were dispatched to the scene, accompanied by Nirun Jaiplam, Mayor of Sam Khok Municipality.

 

The fire broke out in a two-storey building, with the ground floor made of concrete and the upper floor constructed of wood. The toy shop occupied the entire structure, and the fire is believed to have started on the wooden upper floor. Flames quickly spread, engulfing the upper section and reducing it to ashes. Firefighters battled the blaze for 90 minutes before bringing it under control.

 

Mrs Wandee Suefak, 67, the shop owner and a resident of Moo 1 in Sam Khok, explained that she was sitting outside the shop after closing for the evening when she heard a loud noise resembling an explosion from the upper floor. Looking up, she saw flames rapidly spreading across the wooden structure. She immediately called out to neighbours for assistance in extinguishing the fire and salvaging items, but the fire’s intensity forced her to contact authorities for help.

 

Police officers from Sam Khok Police Station inspected the scene, questioning the owner and documenting evidence. Forensic specialists from Pathum Thani Province will be brought in to investigate the cause of the fire. The estimated damage is still under assessment.
