webfact Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Picture: INN INN reported that the owner of Mountain bar and bistro (Mountain B) has advertised it is for sale. The pub on Sukhumvit Road in Sattahip, Chonburi, was the scene of a devastating fire that has left 20 dead and 35 injured. The media reported a sign had gone up with a phone number for "B" - that's Sia B also known as Pongsiri, aged 27. The owner is facing mounting costs in compensation for the dead and injured. The decision also means almost 60 staff will be out of a job. INN further reported that 15 of the injured had now left hospital but 20 remain hospitalized, nine on respirators. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-08-26 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Its unclear as to whether those 60 employees was the total of the lucky ones still alive or whether some employees, including the manager I believe, were incinerated ? Indeed of those still hopitalised are there any employees amongst them, and, would they be able to work anymore if they recover ?

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 Maybe I am a bit slow, but what is the owner selling ? The burnt out shell of what was once a pub/nightclub. And the op show a photo of a not burnt out, completely different property. Also, not sure that selling will have any effect on the jobs of 60 people, they already don't have a job. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to see the front entrance in that photo, however the owner is obviously selling a building that has been destroyed by fire including the land that it sits on which is probably quite valuable. As for the 60 employees, that I suspect is the total number of employees from bar staff, waiters, stage group, doorman, cleaners, and others .... and obviously they all work different shifts. I hope you and others can understand this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hard to imagine many stepping up to the plate, to buy this place.

I suspect of those groups only 1 works a different shift.... cleaners... the rest will work when the place was open or preparing and hence the same shift. They are all out of a job if they survived. It does not look positive for those poor customers still in hospital. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you and others can understand this. It was my thought, that there were several issues with this sale. The Land upon which the Building stood was only rented as I understood, and the Building being Illegal, surely cannot be sold. This is without the side issue of Thai superstition and the very bad vibes that this would carry. I would be a lot more impressed if " B " and his Daddy had their Houses, Cars, and every single asset they owned up for Sale, with the proceeds going to the Dead and Injured. This this Sale means nothing. Its just them trying to get rid of the stigma and bad Karma that has been bought down on them through this horrendous disregard for Human Life. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem a bit miffed he was released on bail. Do you think the courts/judge/legal system should forgo the whole "innocent until proven guilty" mantra and just lock him up and throw away the key ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being remanded in custody until trial isn't unusual. In this case, to prevent absconding, also not unusual in Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B should be held behind bars, not outside conducting business (where he could very likely find the money to pay more compensation). Makes more sense than locking him up where he can do nothing for the victims before he's been to trial.
