A devastating fire in Chonburi has claimed the life of a local man after a two-storey home was engulfed in flames in the early hours of the morning of 1 May. The victim was discovered severely burned on the upper floor of the residence.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 04:00, in Panthong district. Police Lieutenant Prasert Kulbutdee, an investigator with Panthong Police Station, together with firefighters from the Panthong Municipality and the local Subdistrict Administration Organisation, rushed to the scene following reports of a house fire.

 

The blaze broke out at house number 39, Moo 10, in Panthong subdistrict, adjacent to the local electricity authority office. Upon arrival, officials found the fire had already consumed much of the wooden upper storey of the home and was spreading rapidly. Fire crews battled the flames for over an hour before bringing the situation under control.

 

Once the fire was extinguished, a grim discovery was made on the second floor. The charred body of the homeowner, identified only as Mr. Jaroon, was found on a bed, burned beyond recognition. His age and full identity were not immediately available. Downstairs, a Honda Wave motorcycle bearing Chonburi licence plate 3 was found destroyed by the fire.

Local residents reported that heavy rainfall had preceded the fire. They stated the blaze appeared to originate from the ground floor of the house before rapidly spreading to the upper wooden structure. They said they immediately alerted emergency services upon seeing the blaze.

 

Initial investigations are underway, with forensic teams working to determine the exact cause of the fire. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities at this stage.
