According to Thai media news, on September 7, a major fire accident occurred in Pattaya Sifang Floating Market, a well-known tourist attraction in Chonburi Province, Thailand, and more than 200 firefighters were dispatched to extinguish the fire in Pattaya and surrounding areas, and it took nearly 6 hours to control the fire.
On September 8, the Mayor of Pattaya, Mr. Barama, revealed that the fire accident in Pattaya Quadrifang Floating Market caused a loss of 70 million to 100 million baht, and more than 40-50 merchants in the market were affected, and relevant departments have been dispatched to deal with the post-disaster work. It is initially learned that the fire accident may be caused by a short circuit in the wire.
Barrama said that the Sifang Floating Market, a local tourist attraction with great art and culture in Pattaya, has always been popular with Chinese tourists and tour groups, and he deeply regretted the fire accident. The fire accident at the Sifang Floating Market will have a certain impact on Pattaya's tourism industry, but there are many well-known scenic spots in Pattaya, and I believe the impact will not be too great.
