A fire broke out on Saturday night at an old half- concrete half- wooden house previously owned by Gen Chatichai Choonhavan, and now occupied by Tisana Choonhavan, a Move Forward Party ( MFP ) MP for Bangkok.

No one was hurt or killed in the flames, according to Pol Capt Chirasak Bunyuennan, assistant chief analyst at Phaya Thai authorities place, and it took less than 30 minutes to put out the flames that had destroyed about half the house.

According to Pol Capt Chirasak, the fire that broke out in the deepest house was thought to have been caused by a small loop. The burned-out house was one of many houses on an 8-rai plot of land off Phahon Yothin Road in Phaya Thai area.

According to Pol Capt Chirasak, the property had been transferred from Chatichai to Kraisak Choonhavan, his brother and former assistant deputy head of the Democrat Party.

Around 9:30 p.m., Ms. Tisana and her younger girl were not inside the home.

The MFP MP claimed that a worker at a local home allegedly spotted smoke coming from the second ground of her home after he informed her that he could smell it.

Soon after, a loud explosion was heard and then the embers raged very fast, she said.

Fortunately, there is a water by the burning apartment, which served as source of water to douse the flames while waiting for a fire truck to reach, she said.

She claimed that the burned-out home had electrical wiring from between five and six years before.

During the blaze and fire operation, the MP began a live telecast on social media.

Both Ms. Tisana’s relatives, former foreign minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara and former modern economy and society secretary Buddhipongse Punnakanta, were spotted visiting during the broacast.

MFP list-MP Rangsiman Rome was also seen visiting her at the picture during the spread.

Despite having assumed at this point that the incident was the result of a little circuit, the police were also conducting an investigation.
