FIRE AT WILD WEST BOYS A-GO-GO BAR IN SOI PATTAYALAND TWO

A-Go-Go boys and customers ran for their lives from the Wild West Boys go-go bar. A neon sign short circuited and caused flames to erupt on the fourth floor. There were no injuries.

On 12 June 2007, at 2 AM, Pol.Lt . Chanathat Nawakunransri, Pattaya, was notified that the neon sign on the fourth floor of Wild West Boys, located at 325/85, Soi PattayaLand 13/4, Pattaya Second Road, Nongprue, Banglamung, Chonnuri.

Pol.Col.Suthin Sabphueng, Superintendent, along with a team of police officers with 4 fire engines rushed to investigate.

At the scene, amidst a large number of beer bars and A-Go-Go bars located on the soi, foreign tourists and Thais were panicking and running through the smoke filled soi.

Officials learned that the fire was on the fourth floor of the building. The first floor contains a go-go bar and a beer bar. Above the bar are rooms for staff to stay.

The neon sign burst into flames on the fourth floor of the building.

The fire had not spread to other parts of the building.

Staff members used chemical extinguisher, unsuccessfully, in an attempt to put out the fire.

Officials immediately coordinated with the electric department to cut off the current before using water to douse the fire.

It took about ten minutes to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

Mrs. Nisachol Gerdmee (30), who resides at 403/117, Moo 12, Nongprue, Banglamung, Chonburi, the owner of the bar and Mr. Steve, her Australian husband, told the officials that while the A-Go-Go boys were dancing in the bar, they heard an explosion followed by the lights going out. Smoke and flames spewed from the neon sign above the fourth floor.

Staff and foreign customers ran out of the building to avoid getting burned. Some of the staff attempted to use a chemical fire-extinguisher to extinguish the fire but to no avail. The fire department was called and they were able to put out the fire, avoiding any injuries. There was about 10,000 baht in damages. Officials took a report and will try to determine the cause of fire.

Maybe it started due to an excess of friction, running low on KY Jelly perhaps.

Mr. Rosner says an abundance of KY can be found at the Dongtang Police Substation.
