A fire broke out on Wednesday morning at the Coco Loco restaurant, located on Haad Yao beach in Koh Phangan. Firefighters responded quickly with a water tanker.
Around 7:30 a.m., the fire prevention and fighting services deployed a water tanker in support of the municipality of Phet Phangan after receiving an alert of a fire at the Coco Loco restaurant, located on Haad Yao beach, in Koh Phangan.
The restaurant, known for its Italian cuisine and its seafront location within the Tropicoco Beach Resort, is a popular establishment among tourists and residents of the island.
Local authorities quickly mobilised rescue resources to contain the flames. No official information has yet been released regarding any possible victims or the precise circumstances of the fire's outbreak.
Some internet users mentioned a series of recent fires on the island, while others put forward unverified hypotheses about possible property disputes. These comments remain purely speculative for the time being and are not based on any official confirmation.
Investigations by the Thai authorities should determine the causes of the fire in the coming days. In the meantime, the Coco Loco restaurant remains closed and the site is secured by the competent services.
