Nearly 1, 000 ray of forest have been destroyed by flames on Khao Loi rock in the Pak Chong city of Nakhon Ratchasima, which is located about 5 kilometers from Khao Yai National Park, a world heritage site.
The areas of the flames are in the Khao Siad Ah Forest Reserve, Khao Nok Yung Forest, and Khao Ang Hin Forest, according to Kittiwat Thiempeng, the commander of Khao Yai Forest Fire Control Station, on Friday.
He claimed that Khao Yai National Park’s boundary is about 5 kilometers away from the bush fires.
Some companies joined forces to throw out bush fires tuesday, including the Nakhon Ratchasima Forest Fire Operations Centre, Khao Yai Forest Fire Control Station, Forest Protection Unit of Pak Chong area, Royal Forest Department, Nakhon Ratchasima Forest Fire Control Promotion Centre, Prachin Buri Forest Fire Control Promotion Centre, and Phaya Yen Tambon Administrative Organisation.
He claimed that the situation is under the control of the chancellor of Nakhon Ratchasima and the army chief in the northern region.
The flames are expected to be under control by now, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra stated on X yesterday that the government had instructed all relevant organizations to immediately set out the forest flames to stop them from spreading.
According to the Forest Fire Control Promotion Centre, the bush burns started on January 3. The Phayayen Tambon Administrative Organization ( TAO ) reported a forest fire that occurred behind Wat Udomsuk to the center. The fire was put out that night after it had ravaged the forest by approximately 200 ray. The center received a notification of another jungle flames on January 5.
The mixed damage is virtually 1, 000 ra of woodland, said a resource, adding that the cause is believed to be pet poaching.
