Fire reignites at popular Rangsit pub after blaze
Firefighters battled a reignited blaze at a Rangsit pub in Pathum Thani on Wednesday morning, with flames spreading through soundproof ceiling panels after the initial fire broke out hours earlier.
PATHUM THANI — May 7, 2026 — Firefighters returned to battle a blaze at a popular pub in Rangsit on Wednesday morning after flames reignited inside the building, causing extensive damage throughout the venue.
Deputy Mayor Chayut Sinpoonphak of Rangsit municipality and municipal councillor Jamrat Chusuk led emergency crews and five fire engines to the entertainment venue in the Khlong Nueng area along the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok canal road in Prachathipat subdistrict, Thanyaburi district, after reports of the reignited fire.
Firefighters discovered flames and heavy smoke spreading from the ceiling on the second floor. Crews sprayed water into the ceiling cavity, where soundproof foam panels had been installed, as authorities worried that trapped heat could cause another flare-up.
According to officials, the initial fire was first reported around 4:50 a.m., with firefighters and officers from Pratunam Chulalongkorn police station arriving at approximately 5:00 a.m. Large flames and thick smoke were found on the second floor, particularly in a storage room containing old chairs and other items. Firefighters brought the blaze under control later that morning.
Because the venue was an enclosed space fitted with soundproofing materials, residual heat caused the fire to reignite. The pub was closed when the fire broke out, and no injuries were reported.
Authorities have not yet assessed the full extent of damage. Municipal engineers will inspect the building structure to determine its safety following the fire.
