Songkhla governor Kritsada Boonrat said the blaze razed the entire single storey building at Ban Ma Ngon School in Chana district.

"The fire was likely caused by a faulty electrical system.

"I don't think it was related to the southern unrest because the school is located outside the red zone where insurgents are active," Mr Kritsada said.

School security guards said they did not see suspicious people or activity last night, he added.
