A fiery incident broke out in Pattaya as Anne’s Island Spice Bar went up in flames, with the owner's ex-boyfriend suspected of foul play. In the small hours of May 14, sparks flew as a blaze ignited panic, prompting an urgent reaction from emergency services.

 

The fire reportedly started in a bedroom, spreading to the lounge before firefighters managed to contain the damage, leaving behind charred clothing but no injuries.

 

The authorities are casting a suspicious eye on a 39-year-old man, now in custody, linked romantically to bar owner Ladda Hair, who was astonished by the blaze.

 

Ladda recounted the mysterious fire outbreak, despite a history of electrical mishaps at the venue: "I was closing up when smoke suddenly started filling the place," she said. Quick actions by a nearby motorcycle taxi driver, who used an extinguisher, prevented further destruction, according to Ladda.

 

Fuel was added to the fiery claims by a local resident who remained unnamed, citing threats made by the ex. "He told me straight up he was going to burn the bar down.

 

I warned Ladda," the resident revealed. Police are vigorously investigating, piecing together testimonies and trawling through CCTV footage to unravel the fiery mystery while ensuring a fair process for all involved.

 

As the investigation continues, Pattaya's authorities are determined to uncover the truth behind the blaze that rocked the quiet night.

 

The community watches with bated breath, eager to learn whether love’s heat led to the late-night firestorm or if other factors were at play. Once concluded, this case aims to shed light on the incident, ensuring safety and justice for all parties involved.
