A fire broke out in the early hours at a tourist hotel car park in Ban Rai, Uthai Thani province, destroying eight vehicles. Police are currently investigating the cause of the incident.
Today, July 28, police from Ban Rai Police Station in Uthai Thani were informed of a fire at a well-known hotel in Ban Rai district. Patrol officers, including Police Lieutenant Colonel Ekkarak Srisakda and Lieutenant Visanu Sopa, along with the investigation team and emergency services, responded promptly.
The fire was brought under control by approximately 5.40am. The affected car park, approximately 150 metres from the hotel rooms, saw damage to eight vehicles, including sedans, pickups, and SUVs.
Of these, six vehicles were completely destroyed, while two suffered minor damage. Fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities. The car park, which had a sunshade roof, was entirely burnt.
A hotel maid reported receiving a call about the fire around 5am. She attempted to use a fire extinguisher but found the blaze too intense to handle alone.
