BANGKOk: Thai authorities were investigating an after-hours fire that roared through Bangkok’s Chatuchak weekend market, destro­ying scores of small shops crammed inside one of Asia’s most popular bazaars.

The Thai capital’s fire emergency service said the blaze started after 9pm on Sunday and affected more than 100 stalls spread across about 1,000 sq m.The sprawling, densely packed Chatuchak market sells a variety of goods in its thousands of stalls, from clothing and handicrafts to paintings and live animals, and is popular with both locals and tourists.

The packed market, which is covered in most areas, is criss-crossed by narrow and often crowded passageways that can be dizzyingly disorienting for the first-time visitor.
