- News

PATHUM THANI — 7 May 2026, Firefighters returned to battle a blaze at a popular pub in Rangsit on Wednesday morning after flames reignited inside the building, causing extensive damage throughout the venue.

Chayut Sinpoonphak, deputy mayor of Rangsit municipality, and municipal councillor Jamrat Chusuk led emergency crews and five fire engines to the entertainment venue in Khlong Nueng area along the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok canal road in Prachathipat subdistrict, Thanyaburi district, after reports that the fire had broken out again.

Firefighters found flames and heavy smoke spreading from the ceiling on the second floor of the building. Crews sprayed water into the ceiling cavity, where soundproof foam panels had been installed, amid concerns that trapped heat could cause the fire to flare up again.

Authorities said the fire destroyed the interior of the entertainment venue.

Officials said the initial fire was first reported at around 4:50, with firefighters and officers from Pratunam Chulalongkorn police station arriving at the scene at approximately 5:00.

Large flames and thick smoke were found on the second floor, particularly in a storage room containing old chairs and other items belonging to the pub. Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control later in the morning.

However, because the venue was an enclosed space fitted with soundproofing materials, residual heat caused the fire to reignite.

The pub had already closed for the night when the fire broke out and no injuries were reported.

Authorities said the extent of the damage had not yet been assessed. Municipal engineers will inspect the building structure to determine whether it remains safe following the fire.
