BANGKOK — A large plume of smoke was hanging over Bangkok on Thursday after a fire broke out in a shanty community in the Saphan Khwai area near Soi Pradipat 23.
Flames erupted near Wat Phai Tan at about 2:40pm. Firefighters were working to put out the blaze.
On Friday, police Maj. Jiraporn Montontong said no one was injured in the blaze, which caused by a short circuit. Ten households were destroyed, however.
