Popular Post webfact Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 A luxury resort on Thailand’s Koh Kut island has issued a statement regarding Sunday’s massive fire, expressing regret and concern for those affected, while insisting that all villas within the resort have smoke detectors installed. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The resort’s statement came after a well-known paediatrician and a former actress both shared their close calls at the resort on their social media. The doctor questioned why such a luxurious resort has no smoke detectors or fire alarm system. The resort, called “Soneva Kiri” said in the statement that the fire began in Villa 63 and all guests were evacuated safely.

Koh Kood has no water reservoir. Most of it comes from underground and is passed through filters to remove iron oxide. Until there is some change to the water supply on the island any sprinkler system would quickly rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) On 3/8/2022 at 12:03 AM, Tarteso said: 54.000 Baht/Night… Up to 430,000 baht per night. Kinds flies in the face of those who claim there's no money in domestic tourists. And only #63 seems to have burned down. When I first saw the drone footage, it looked like a whole resort was burned. Turns out that one villa is about the same size as many whole resorts. https://soneva.com/resorts/soneva-kiri/villas/ Pretty impressive... I wish I could afford to stay there.
