8am, Phi Phi police were called to the scene of a fire which had broken out in a rented room in Moo 7 Ao Nang behind the Kashiwanut Restaurant.

The Phi Phi OrBorTor fire team and local residents spent over an hour putting the fire out with water supplied by the local Waterhill water company.

Officials have stated that a short circuit in one of the rented rooms is the possible cause of the fire. However, investigations are currently ongoing to find the exact cause.
