Pattaya — A hotel’s rooftop sauna in Pattaya suddenly went up in flames at 10 PM yesterday, June 24th. The hotel staff alleged the sauna room in question was under renovation with a sign prohibiting entry; however, some guests secretly used the room, leading to the sudden blaze.

The incident occurred at a hotel in Soi Arunothai within the Nongprue sub-district of Banglamung district, Chonburi province. The Pattaya News has withheld the name of the hotel from publication pending a further investigation by fire department officials.

 

A large fire was spotted engulfing the sauna room on the hotel’s 8th floor rooftop, which is a mixed area of a sauna room, fitness center, and sunbathing space. Police officers, firefighter units, security personnel, and hotel staff worked together to extinguish the raging flames using chemical extinguishers and water spray. Some hotel guests also joined in the effort by splashing water onto the fire.
