In the early hours of 30 September 2026, a fire broke out in an electric car parked on Soi Vibhavadi Rangsit 72 in Bangkok's Don Mueang district, reducing the vehicle to ashes. Police and firefighters from nearby stations arrived at the scene promptly, but the blaze continued to smolder for around 20 minutes before being extinguished.
The car, a white electric model bearing Bangkok license plates, lay abandoned in the left lane of a busy three-lane road, its inferno visible to passersby. Authorities found no driver or owner at the scene, though local residents reported that the area had been inundated with water due to recent heavy rains, causing several vehicles to become stuck along the road.
The fire department suspects the electric car may have been left there during the flooding, but the exact cause of the fire remains undetermined. Officials are actively seeking the vehicle's owner and conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the blaze.
