webfact Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 A young female Vietnamese victim of the Mountain B nightclub inferno in Sattahip district is still recuperating from her severe burn wounds and grappling with medical debt exceeding over 4 million baht. Saturday, August 5th, marked the one year anniversary of the tragic incident at the Chonburi nightclub that saw 26 lives lost and 50 people injured. The club was full of patrons, mostly youth in their early 20’s, when the fire suddenly erupted in the foam ceiling and quickly spread throughout the venue, killing numerous victims at the tragic scene. After one year has passed, many surviving victims are still battling with their excruciating pain, among whom is a 25-year-old, Ms. Dinh Kim Le, or Kim, a beautiful young woman from Vietnam. Having traveled back and forth between Thailand and Vietnam for 4 years, Kim is one of the survivors who endured severe burns covering over 70-80% of her entire body. She had been a regular legal resident in the Sattahip area when she made the decision to visit the Mountain B nightclub with friends on August 5th, 2022. At present, Kim is incapable of caring for herself, having to rely on her siblings and family. She spent 363 days in hospitals, and it has only been 2 days since she was discharged.

Tropicalevo Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The whole thing is said for all. Death is painful for those left behind, but the dead feel nothing. This young lady will be in pain for a very long time. Possibly for the rest of her life. The memory of this will last forever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BKKBike09 Posted August 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2023 Thailand at its worst. If ever there was a more deserving case for GoFundMe ... although at least the Pattaya News story has details of the brother's bank account. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Send her medical bills to the club's owners--and force them to pay steep damages on top of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
