Trang Governor Siripat Patkul on Monday declared six villages in Kuan Thani, six in Bang Mark, seven in Bang Pao, eight in Khok Yang, five in Khlong Chee Lom, five in Wang Won and four in Yan Sue disaster zones. Many residents of Bang Mark and Kuan Thani were seen wearing face masks distributed by health officials. Siripat said he had instructed health and labour officials to take care of people affected by the fire and smoke. Fire-fighters working in shifts through the night were still pumping water on the factory on Monday amid lingering white smoke. The smoke reportedly prompted officials at nearby Trang Airport to move departures and landings from the eastern to the western runway.
