Pattaya_Fox Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Extract from Pattaya People Indian and Thai Killed in Fire Pattaya Police were informed in the morning of 29th December that a fire had broken out at a building in Soi Post Office off Second Road. Officers rushed to the scene with the Sawang Rescue Team and the Fire Brigade to find the 2nd and 3rd floors of the 4 storey building ablaze. It took the team 2 hours to get the fire under control. After dousing the blaze they discovered the bodies of 2 people on the 2nd and 3rd floors. In the toilet, on the 2nd floor they found 23 year old Mr. Ravi Gupta from India. The body of Mrs. Jampa Jaitrong aged 33 was found in the corridor of the 3rd floor. Both died from smoke inhalation. A witness stated that the fire began in the small sauna room on the 2nd floor. Police will now investigate further to find the true cause of the incident. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecropper Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I was in Soi Post Office this morning at 9am. When I entered the soi I was surprised to see about 10 emergency vehicles and crowd of about 100 people, mostly Thais, and the shophouse in question in a sorry state. The smell of burning hit me as I walked into the soi, but I didn't know, until I read this, what had happened. Given the TWO fires in Excite disco this year, the Japanese restaurant recently, and in that big hotel in Arab Town (which I was also a witness to) earlier this year, and now this, if it isn't arson, and not human error, it must be bad electrics, and surely a city administration with its finger so firmly in the tourist till should ensure that it doesn't bite the hand that feeds it (puns and calumnies apologised for in advance), and they should clamp down hard on dodgy electrics in tourist hotels/venues. Yeah right. TIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
