A fire broke out at approximately 15:00, on 14 June, at a sauna located at the end of Soi 5, near Yinyom Beach in Jomtien, Chonburi province. Thick black smoke and flames were seen billowing from the premises.

 

Initial reports indicate the fire ignited inside the sauna complex while it was operating at full capacity. Witnesses described the scene, with tourists, both Thai and foreign, hurrying to escape the blaze. Some brave individuals attempted to contain the flames using fire extinguishers and buckets of water, while others smashed windows to allow the smoke to dissipate.

One local resident, 44-year-old Mr Montri, who witnessed the incident, recounted:“I saw heavy smoke pouring from the building and rushed over. The fire spread too quickly for us to do anything meaningful to stop it.”

 

Pattaya fire crews responded swiftly, deploying several fire engines and several emergency personnel. It reportedly took over 45 minutes to bring the flames under control.

 

There have been no official reports of injuries. Authorities are now investigating the cause of the blaze and assessing the extent of the damage.
