Chonburi Fire: Authorities Investigate Unlicensed Building Resembling Factory

A fire has broken out, completely engulfing a building that resembled a factory in the Ban Bueng district of Chonburi province, central Thailand. The Ministry of Industry in Thailand has indicated that the building is highly likely to be an unlicensed structure, with no building permits obtained. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire and simultaneously considering legal action against the owner or administrator of the property. This incident has caused concern among residents in the district. In particular, if the building was unlicensed, there is a possibility that safety standards were not met, raising concerns about the spread of damage during the fire and its impact on surrounding areas. Authorities are expected to announce a policy to strengthen crackdowns on similar unlicensed structures in the future. Source: MGR Online (Business)
