I read yesterday that the venue will remain closed while enquiries continue. No kidding. Business would probably be down anyway I suppose, in a burned-out building with nothing to sell.

I heard that the governor had just recently visited the venue, prior to the fire. For an inspection? I’d like to know more. Is it true? Was it an inspection visit? Results? Has anyone heard or read anything credible?

Governors do not inspect venues. Inspectors are employed to do that. Whether they actually do so rather than tick boxes on a form is questionable. I've read that this place was 'inspected' in April and passed. I just wonder whether the inspectors simply glanced inside and moved on. Either that or they were totally incompetent. Or, as we often read, they were blinded by baht.

I needed to replace the ceiling (termites) in the common room in my Bangkok home.

As the workers started to pull down the old ceiling I checked to see what the electrical wiring looked like. There were wires everywhere, even loose ends. Many of the wires were joined with friction tape. So I halted the job and got in a reputable electrician and had the ceiling totally re wired before I let the workers replace the ceiling.

Your story sounds completely true, and is sadly, the norm in Thailand. I don't think that Thailand "protecting" uneducated, untrained, "this is how grandpa did it", workers serves the country well. What they miss is ... Foreigners bring MODERN methods, tools, and safe processes that get passed onto "everyone in the village" over time. I am confident if I came back to Thailand in 100 years, they would still be running wires dangerously, putting down tile floors with air gaps, welding without shields, etc. I don't blame the people, they "don't know what they don't know."

Lat Phrao fire death toll reaches 32 in Bangkok

The death toll from the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao fire in Bangkok's Chatuchak district has risen to 32, after another victim died from their injuries on Wednesday, July 15.

The Police Hospital's Institute of Forensic Medicine said five people first listed as critically injured had died since the fire. Authorities have now confirmed the identities of all 32 victims.

Thirty patients still in hospital

Thirty people remain under treatment at hospitals across Bangkok, according to the Erawan Emergency Medical Centre. Fifteen of them are in intensive care.

A further 44 people have been discharged, based on the latest medical update. Medical teams are continuing to closely monitor the most seriously injured patients, while the Chatuchak District Office coordinates support with hospitals and other agencies.

Victims identified, remains being released

Forensic officials completed the identification of all 32 victims by Wednesday morning.

Relatives of 28 victims had contacted authorities to receive their family members' remains. Officials were working to complete the remaining handovers.

The completed identification process enables families to make funeral and religious arrangements. It is also needed for certain financial-assistance applications.

Assistance centre moved to district office

Chatuchak District Office has moved its assistance point from Phahon Yothin MRT Station to the second floor of the district office. It is accepting claims from people injured in the fire and from the families of those who died.

Applications must be lodged within 30 days of the incident. After checking the necessary documents, officials will issue a disaster-victim certificate and arrange payments available under Bangkok Metropolitan Administration regulations.

Bereaved families have been asked to provide the identification card of the deceased person's spouse or legal heir, a death certificate and a police report relating to the fire.

Well, I guess it’s time for soundproofing material to be made of non-flammable materials…

I think you will find the Baht is the answer. 😉

And there are still more than 20-odd in critical condition (code red). So unfortunately it looks like the death toll will continue to rise. My mother worked in a hospital years ago and occasionally had to go to the burn ward. She said most people with 3rd degree burns on a large part of their body wouldn't make it. And those that did, were in agony for a long time.

Picture courtesy of Daily News

The death toll from the devastating fire at Lat Phrao has risen to 33 after Thitiwat Kaewkanha, better known as “Din”, the lead singer of Thai band Thotsakan, died from his injuries at Rajavithi Hospital.

Din had been receiving treatment since suffering severe burns in the blaze on 12 July but later succumbed to his injuries. The band’s official Facebook page confirmed his passing, expressing condolences to his family and saying details of funeral arrangements would be announced later.

Din’s death has prompted an outpouring of grief from fellow musicians and fans, adding to the national mourning over one of Thailand’s deadliest recent fire disasters.

The Lat Phrao brewery blaze has claimed 33 lives, with dozens of others injured, as authorities continue their investigation into the cause of the fire and the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.

Thai TV3 morning news shows new video of smoke seeping out of three areas of the ceiling. So it appears to have started in the ceiling. Few would have noticed it though and if they did they might have thought it was a special effect like the strobe lights - until the fire broke through.

I didn’t intend to infer that the Governor of Bangkok pulled out his checklist and his circuit tester. If he was there it was for a press event, PR to show the city government was doing something. Qualified personnel should have done any actual inspection work.

Any Somchai with a motorcycle, two screwdrivers and a pair of linesman pliers is considered a qualified electrician.

The twist of that is the Prime Minister is a well qualified and experienced construction engineer, he obtained all his degrees and quite some experience, and enhanced his quite good English language abroad.

He has already visited the pub fire site but I haven't noticed what comments he may have made.

The original question was, had he, or any city officials or inspectors for that matter, inspected the venue before the fire.

They say third time’s a charm. Maybe this tragedy will spur the Governor and his team to start a nightclub inspection task force. He’s certainly capable of formulating a program. The biggest question is perhaps, where to start in this huge city filled with third rate construction.

Hold on there. Your guy had TWO screwdrivers? Wow, where did you find him??

Phillips head and standard slot. That’s been a requirement for some time now but only the best technicians have them both. 😆
