In the early hours of September 18, a 70-year-old man named Toi in Samut Prakan's Phra Pradaeng district found himself trapped after his old wooden house collapsed. The single-story wooden house, located in a lane off Soi Phet Hueng 14 near Wat Pa Ket School, came down around 4:30am, trapping Toi inside. Neighbours, hearing the crash, rushed to his aid and called out to him as they worked to clear the debris and reach him.
Headman Chuchat Jiamthong of Song Khanong subdistrict was alerted at approximately 4:30am and promptly informed local administration and district officials, who dispatched a rescue team.

According to the headman, the wooden house had been standing for over 20 years.
