Wichit Municipality firefighters were called to the house, in Soi Poonsap, in Wichit’s Muang Thong neighbourhood, at about 10:50am.
The fire teams arrived and took about 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze. By that time, however, the damage had been done. The house had been gutted by the fire and the roof had collapsed.
No people were reported as injured by the fire.
Wichit Mayor Kreetha Chotiwitpipat also soon arrived to inspect the scene.
Estimates of the value of damage have yet to be determined, though the property damage included a motorbike, all the furniture and appliances in the home, and some chickens.
Preliminary investigations have led inspectors to believe an electrical short circuit started the fire.
Firefighters are continuing their investigation.
