Pattaya Court Sentences Mountain B Pub Owner to Five Years in Prison Without Bail
File picture for reference only. A Pattaya court has sentenced Phongsiri “B” Panprasong, owner of the Mountain B pub, and his associates to five years in prison for negligence leading to the deaths of 24 people in the 2022 fire at the venue. The court denied bail for all defendants. The ruling comes following the tragic blaze that engulfed the Mountain B nightclub in Sattahip, Chonburi, on 5 August 2022. The fire claimed the lives of 13 people on the night of the incident, while 11 others succumbed to their injuries in hospital. Around 50 more sustained various degrees of injury. According to lawyer Ronnarong Kaewphet, head of the Justice Advocacy Foundation, the Pattaya Provincial Court delivered its verdict on 18 March 2025. The court found Phongsiri, along with an electrician, guilty of negligence causing death, sentencing them to 10 years in prison. However, as both pleaded guilty, their sentences were reduced to five years. Meanwhile, Phongsiri’s wife, Anongnat Panprasong, and his father were sentenced to 10 years each. The court did not grant bail to any of the convicted individuals. Following the ruling, Ronnarong stated that no action had yet been taken by victims’ families in response to the verdict. He also noted concerns over reports that Phongsiri’s father might have been granted bail due to his close ties with local police, which may have deterred some from seeking further legal action. Regarding compensation for victims, Ronnarong confirmed that financial settlements had been made. The most severely affected individuals received up to 200,000 baht, while others received varying amounts based on the extent of their injuries and losses. Ronnarong further called on Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to investigate government officials responsible for issuing permits to Mountain B. He stressed that once a licence is granted, authorities should ensure continued compliance with safety regulations. The Mountain B tragedy remains one of Thailand’s deadliest nightclub fires, drawing widespread criticism of lax safety enforcement in the country’s entertainment industry.

The shepherd and his lost sheep.
It's all a bit of urine extraction, there might well be a bit of WW111, but that will, no doubt in my mind, end up with Mutually Assured Destruction. Stand down Germany, we have enough megalomaniacs in the World before you have to go for round 3 -

Malaysian Tourist’s Car Plunges into Ravine in Yala A Malaysian tourist was injured when his car plunged into a deep ravine near the Ayerweng Skywalk in Betong, Yala. The crash, which occurred on the morning of 19 March, was reportedly caused by a damaged road and the absence of warning barriers, which had allegedly been removed by an unknown individual.

I carry two UK passports. They transferred my retirement extensions from one passport to the new one, very easily at Kalasin immigration. I will have the same issue in a couple or three years, when my passport for the 5-year visa will expire, and I want to move passports same as the OP. It all makes perfect sense what both you and Dr Jack are saying, what I mean is I hope the Immigration see it the same way. We know they are a law unto themselves, as even different offices interpret the rules and regulations as they wish.
