Five fire engines took an hour to get the blaze under control after it swept through the entire timber house. The fire also destroyed three vehicles parked in the grounds of the house.

The deputy mayor of Chiang Mai says the house owner, 72 year old Boonnak Thanhikorn, suffered head injuries after she jumped from the second floor to get away from the flames as they engulfed the house.

Police are investigating the cause of the blaze.
