As settlement was being prepared for the three hotel fire victims in Bangkok near Khao San Road, including a Brazilian woman whose partner proposed to her last month.
The three who perished in the incident at The Ember Hotel on Tanee Road near Khao San Road late Sunday evening were identified as a 24-year-old Portuguese lady, Pimentel Canales Albuquerque, a 27-year-old Polish gentleman, Tuzov Victor, and a 35-year-old American gentleman, Freeman Timothy Jr.
The lady died in the room where the alleged start of the fire was. At Samitivej Chinatown Hospital and Vajira Hospital, the two gentlemen were both declared useless.
Seven people were injured, including an engineer at the lodge, Sorawut Liewhamai, and two Netherlanders, Marvin Holtkamp and Nadine Hueftlein.
Officials believe the fire started in Room 511 because it only destroyed that place, according to Bangkok government Chadchart Sittipunt.
34 of the hotel’s 75 friends were escaping to the roof with fire truck stairs when the incident occurred.
The Portuguese lady was discovered dead in Room 510. Because the hotel’s door was left open, investigators assumed that she had misplacedly entered the room while attempting to leave in the dark.
She had previously checked in with her boyfriend, who had just proposed to her last year. They stayed in Room 504, from Room 511. During their escape, she became separated from her sweetheart, who survived.
The hotel was created, according to the Bangkok government, by the modification of 11 interconnected business building units that spanned a 1, 515 square foot combined.
The resort was constructed in 2022 when it opened. Because it was a modest hotel, which did not require for gear, he said, there were two fire exits and enough fire extinguishers, but there was no sprinkler system.
The fire probably started in Room 511’s sleep, according to Amorn Pimanmas, chairman of the Thailand Structural Engineers Association, because its bed was completely burned and just wire springs were left. The construction of the resort was alive, he said.
Three Asian people were reported to have stayed in Room 511 but were not there when the fire started.
A hotel employee rushed to the place when the fire alarm sounded. Black smoking immediately erupts when the individual opens the door.
Police were looking for the Asian men to inquire about the potential cause of the fire.
The government will pay 1 million baht in payment for each death scenario and 500, 000 ringgit for each damage event, according to Natthriya Thaweevong, permanent director for tourism and activities.
