There have been two separate fires today, in different areas in Phuket. At this stage The Thaiger believes that both were Burmese workers’ living accommodation, or work camps.
There has been no immediate reaction from police about any connection between the two fires, both at workers camps within four hours of each other.
This is how events unfolded this morning…
Fire in Kathu
Posted by The Thaiger on Wednesday, December 5, 2018

And then just after noon, news of the second fire in Paklok…
“Around noon a fire started at another workers’ camp, this time in Paklok. The fire is under control. It is the second fire at worker camps today. This morning a fire destroyed an accommodation camp in Kathu between 7-8am.”
