PHUKET: -- Firefighters have yet to determine the cause of a fire that broke out at a hotel under construction on the Patong beach road last night (Jan 2), sending clouds of black smoke billowing into the night sky.

 

People dining in the restaurant at the front of the hotel had already been safely evacuated from the building.

 

No injuries reported as a result from the fire.

 

Patong Police were alerted to the blaze at the Beyond Patong hotel on the corner of Thaweewong Rd and Sawatdirak Rd at about 7:30pm.

 

More than 10 fire trucks and rescue teams arrived at the four-storey hotel site to find plumes of black smoke billowing from the lower level, where construction equipment was being stored.

I was watching them damp down at 7am this morning while passing that way on my daily walk, just smelled strongly of electrical type fire - wiring, is what it smelled like but that don't mean anything really, smoke damage was up side of the right side of hotel building looked like from ground floor upwards going of smoke staining/pattern the Fishermans Terrace restaurant at front did not look like it had sustained any damage.

Sad things out the story is that another hotel is being built. Like patong needs another one.
