Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 A fire has destroyed a disco pub in the Banglamung/Pattaya area at noon today (November 3rd). No injuries were reported. The total cost of damages is about six million baht, according to those familiar with the ongoing investigation. Pattaya City firefighters were notified of the fire at about noon at the Laser Disco pub in Nongprue, which had previously been primarily focused on domestic Thai visitors prior to current Covid-19 regulations and rules that have seen nightlife closed currently for seven months in a row and previously a total of about five months since early 2020. Firefighters with six fire engines and The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to find the fire was ablaze with lots of smoke. Firefighters managed to bring the fire under control without the flames spreading to any nearby businesses but the disco was estimated as a near-total loss by firefighters at the scene.

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 awfully suspicious amount lot if these establishments going up in flames during a pandemic. You'd think more would go up when open than not 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steven100 Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 I would think the Laser disco would have been well and truly over insured and I would think the breaker box got too hot and started the fire. And I bet the owner is saying ' it's just terrible ' I've lost everything. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Will B Good Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Apparently the Thai owner was recorded discussing the insurance policy for his disco...... "You will need fire insurance, burglary insurance and flood insurance" the insurance agent told him. The Thai owner said ......."Fire and burglary fair enough.........but how the **** does anyone start a flood?"

spidermike007 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Since it is likely closed, and possibly permanently, it might be one of those "garment district fire jobs". Wonder how much investigation the insurance companies do here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emergency exits are blocked, electrical installation is substandard and I am surprised major incidents do not happen more often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longreach Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I was walking bye at the time of the fire. Some police arrived. A gentlemen was sitting outside the premises, very calmly awaiting fire engines arrival. Did not seem to have a care in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think more would go up when open than not 6 million is not that much for a club. You can spend that easily on the sound and lighting system alone. Then there’s the furniture, damage to the building, the cost of getting the building dry and fixed up again and the loss of income during the time it takes to get it fixed. Having said that, a fire is an easy way of making up for losses due to covid and starting new someplace else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangon04 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 The good news is that because of the Covid restrictions the club was not overfull of customers with the exits obstructed at the time of the fire.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
