A wildfire on Khao Chaphlu in Nakhon Nayok's Muang district on Tuesday evening was moving closer to residential areas yesterday after having burned 700 rai of forest across three mountains.
Authorities fear strong winds in the area may cause the fire to spread towards Khao Yai National Park, which is just three kilometres away.
The Meteorological Department, meanwhile, warned that if this fire isn't contained within the next three to four days, Bangkok and its surrounding provinces will get severe air pollution.
Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, and Prachin Buri have been seriously affected by the smoke.
