Suphan Buri —
On January 11th, 2025, a devastating fire broke out at a three-story commercial building in Suphan Buri Municipality, owned by Phusit Rungronchaiporn, a candidate for District 1 Provincial Councilor and former councilor.
The fire claimed the lives of Phusit, 52, his wife Kanokwan, son Teerawat, 26, and daughter Warasiri, 24. All were found deceased at the scene, with authorities now investigating the exact cause of the fire.
