A forest fire has been burning in Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for about a week since January 3rd. The fire is in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima, in the direction of Pak Chong district. As of January 10th, the fire has spread to 1,700 rai (equivalent to 272 square kilometers). Firefighting efforts by local fire departments, local government, and the army have been continuing for days, and it seems that the fire will be extinguished in another day or two.

According to some Thai media, the source of the fire is suspected to be an empty cartridge dropped by a poacher. It is believed that the hot empty cartridge ignited dead leaves and grass, and the fire spread due to the dryness and strong winds.
