Major Fire Destroys Agricultural Supply Store in Cha-uat, Nakhon Si Thammarat
A severe fire broke out at an agricultural supply store in Cha-uat district, causing an estimated 5 million baht in damages; no injuries were reported.
On the evening of July 30, 2026, a significant fire destroyed an agricultural supply store located in the Cha-uat district of Nakhon Si Thammarat province. According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the incident occurred while the store owners were away distributing wedding invitations.
Emergency responders, including ten fire trucks from local municipalities and sub-district administrative organizations, were dispatched to the scene around 6:00 PM. The two-story building contained a large volume of agricultural products, chemicals, and PVC pipes, which acted as fuel and made firefighting efforts challenging. Authorities worked for nearly three hours to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to neighboring homes in the densely populated market area.
While the fire was successfully extinguished without reports of injuries, the store and its inventory were completely destroyed, with damages estimated at over 5 million baht. For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the risks associated with chemical storage in residential zones. The Cha-uat Police Station is currently investigating the site to determine the exact cause of the fire. As of now, the official origin of the blaze remains under investigation.
