Chapel in Phrae temple damaged in fire
A chapel in a small Phrae temple with two monks was damaged by a fire late on Thursday night.
Eight fire engines took about 40 minutes to control the blaze at Wat Thung Lom in Moo 6 village in Tambon Huay Ma of Phrae’s Mueng district.
Police said the two monks were woken up at 10.45am when nearby residents spotted thick smoke coming out of the chapel.
Police believe the fire was caused by a short circuit.
The village head, tambon chief and Sitthichai Chaisurat, president of the Tambon Huay Ma Administrative Organisation, erected a tent in the temple to receive public donations to help the two monks restore the damaged chapel.
