Man self-immolates at govt office (VIDEO)

An unidentified man set fire to himself this afternoon in Nakhon Ratchasima at a government office.

Footage purported to show the man setting himself ablaze at the Pakchong District Office was posted online just after 2pm today by Facebook user Opal Prowpraykarw.

The reason for his action is not known, but Matichon reported he did it to seek justice for not being paid for his work as a driver.

In October an indebted farm-owner from Lopburi set herself on fire at a junta complaint center in the Thai capital. She suffered severe burns and died five months later.
