cmsally Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Area near Changklan cemetery .I think they have it under control . Although heard few explosions and saw a few flare ups before. Seems to have calmed down a bit Edited May 3, 2015 by cmsally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 From what I can translate it mentions near a cemetery in Changklan? Those images on CM108 are being updated often so may revisit it to get current views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have calmed down a bit From my estimate it was just beyond Panthip, so Chiang Mai cemetry, which is just past Butter is Better down the right fork road is about right.

cmsally Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It must be somewhere around Ragang/ Kamphaengdin area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiengmaijoe Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) As everyone knows, Chiang Mai cemetry is the dead centre of Chiang Mai. The fire is at the cemetry on Pracha Samphan road, in the buildings directly opposite the CMFC shop, at the end of the soi almost opposite the Shangrila hotel.

Popular Post Genericnic Posted May 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Serious fire. They have it under control now. I can see the area from my window. Went down and got a few pictures. Here's the location. https://goo.gl/maps/bW4kc David Edited May 3, 2015 by Genericnic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 As mentioned, it is near or at Changklan cemetary. Between Pracha Saphan road and Khampangdin road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetlejuice Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This looks bad. Hope people were not injured or killed. A very dangerous job for the firemen, my thoughts are with this at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fire appears under control. Considering the size of it that was pretty quick by the fire fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Report on CM108 of one woman found dead. Statements that she lived alone and liked lighting candles, drank regularly, and had fires at her home 3 times which neighbors put out in the past. This is a crude translation so don't rely upon it completely. The area had 30 cottages of basic construction, most likely meaning all wood and thatch style.

Ginkas Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just a correction - The fire was at the side of the council crematorium, not the Muslim cemetery which is further up the road. About a two minute walk from where I used to live, very nice and helpful people who live down that soi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
