The Thai Human Imagery Museum’s three-storey warehouse was destroyed on Wednesday night in the Nakhon Chaisri city by flames.

Initial estimates for destruction were 10 million ringgit.

The museum features lifelike foam and glass carvings of Thai people from the past, including those of respected Buddhist monks and former kings.

Around 6.30 am, a fireplace in the inventory was reported. At least 10 flames vehicles and personnel responded. Just after a two-hour war did they finally control the flames. &nbsp,

The three-story, 10×25-meter structure was completely destroyed.

The first floor was used to keep the materials used to create the pictures, such as glass, thinner, fuel, and other components. On the two upper decks, both granite and wax images were kept.

Employees spotted smoke coming out of the tower just in time to save about 10 pictures of respected monks from the flames. &nbsp,

The gallery itself did not suffer any damage.
