The grief-stricken father and relatives of a 17-year-old student, who died in Tuesday’s blaze at Bangkok’s Rajtevee Apartment building, collected the body of Peeranat Inwakul from Ramathibodi Hospital’s morgue on Wednesday morning.

 

Captain Kongkangwan Inwakul, from the Lop Buri-based Artillery Centre, said Peeranat, who was found dead in his 12th floor apartment, was the younger of his two sons. He recalled him as a friendly, well-loved and academically diligent boy who aspired to become a doctor. 

 

The family had rented this apartment for him to stay last year while he studied at the prestigious Triam Udom Suksa School. “During the school break, he was staying at the apartment for his tutoring classes and planned to visit his home in Lop Buri on April 9 for the Songkran holidays,” Kongkangwan said.

 

The teenager’s funeral will be held at Wat Dongsawong in Muang Lop Buri and his cremation rites will be held on Saturday.

 

The fire at the 15-storey apartment building on Phetchaburi Soi 18, off Phetchaburi Road, in Ratchathewi district at about 2am on Tuesday claimed three lives and injured three others. 

 

The relatives of the two other deceased – Methip Rodpim, 46, and Manop Suksawat, 41 – have not yet contacted the authority to collect the bodies, said Phya Thai precinct superintendent Pol Colonel Nithiwat Saensing. 

 

He said forensic investigation at the fire scene was ongoing to determine the cause of blaze and who should be held accountable.
