It took firefighters nearly half an hour to control the blaze, which razed the house to the ground.
Pranee Kaokratoke said she smelled smoke while having a shower upstairs, and rushed downstairs to find her house on fire. She believes a short circuit may have sparked the blaze.
The Ban Thai Samart village fund committee and the Ban Dan sub-district municipality have provided Pranee with basic necessities, drinking water and temporary lodging.
