It is heart-rending to see yet another victim of this tragedy, and what now is to become of her two motherless children?  So sad.  The tragedy continues.

Has the property now sold?

Why haven't we heard anything more about this tragic case.....?

I guess like most similar tragedies, something will come into the news in a year or so.....

Thailand is so lacking in clever, investigative journalists.......what we see here is very poor quality news reporting!

Draconian defamation laws inhibit any in-depth reporting in most cases.

Since the truth is not a defence a reporter, and distribution source of a story that makes someone lose face, they tend to wait until courts rule. Only then can you say in print ‘this person did this bad thing’.

The above is suppressed by deformation laws.

How very sad !

I feel that this will not be the last death associated with this horrendous fire.
