An image of the Lord Buddha is being hailed as being auspicious after it was the only remaining item found among the ruins of a house that burned down in Chiang Rai yesterday, Oct. 10.
The now-former house, along with the auspicious Buddha image, is located in Moo 10 Si Thoi, Mae Suai District.
Pictures from the scene show nothing left other than a number of concrete support pillars along with the charred remains of a piece of paper with the auspicious Buddha image at its center.
Police believe the fire was caused by a short circuit.
