On 29 September 2026, a two-story rental building in Mueang district partially collapsed, trapping a 28-year-old tenant inside his room. Rescue workers from Chachoengsao were alerted around 10:00 and rushed to the scene in Khlong Na subdistrict. The concrete building, housing 20 rooms, displayed visible signs of distress with large cracks in the lower walls and a leaning structure.
The staircase had also subsided. One tenant, Kritsana, 28, was trapped in Room 104 after the building shifted and forced the door frame against the door. The landlord, using a hammer, broke through the door and freed Kritsana. Another tenant, Panida, 30, lost her Pomeranian dog inside the building due to concerns over the weakened structure.
The landlord, Sophonwit, 58, retrieved the dog with the help of a worker. Saifon, Sophonwit's wife, had heard the building creaking early in the morning and rushed to investigate, escalating the situation after learning a tenant was trapped. Both Kritsana and Panida's concerns about the building's instability led to their evacuation, leaving behind their belongings due to the fear of further collapse. Authorities are monitoring the building's structural integrity closely.
