A factory has exploded into flames on the outskirts of Bangkok, where thousands of litres of leaked chemicals are posing a risk of more blasts.
The plastics manufacturer, near the Thai capital's airport, erupted early on Monday morning.
Homes within a five-kilometer radius have been evacuated as firefighters struggle to bring the fire under control.
Air quality in the area is described as toxic.
