On the morning of 3 June 2026, Police Lieutenant Pornthep In-ai, an investigator at Phu Phiang Police Station, Nan Province, received a report from Nan City Radio Center 191 about a fire at a resort in Tha Nao Subdistrict, Phu Phiang District, Nan Province.

At the scene, officials from Tha Nao Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Faikaew Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Muang Teud Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Napang Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Nan Provincial Administrative Organization, local rescue and emergency units, and the Nan Municipality Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department arrived with fire trucks and personnel to control the blaze. Deputy Mayor Warrant Officer Nat Thiansut of Nan Municipality led the firefighting operations.
Upon inspection, the fire was found to be burning the resort’s office building and spreading to a wooden building housing the restaurant and coffee shop. Firefighters took approximately two hours to contain the blaze within a limited area, preventing it from spreading to other buildings.
