Seven shop houses at Khlong Thom market in Bangkok's Pom Prap Sattru Phai district caught fire yesterday.
Fire fighters spent an hour to put out the blaze, which reportedly started on a third-floor tool shop.
Owner of car accessory shop, Waree Alongkornwutthichai, said she lived in a nearby alley and heard someone say there was a fire at the tool shop. She rushed to help extinguish the fire but it was spreading too quickly.
Pol Col Montri Theskhan of the Plapplachai 1 Police Station said that police are investigating the cause of fire and assessing the damages.
The fire scene was sealed to prevent people from entering.
