The permanent director for mortal security claims that more than 260 people have registered for support as a result of the Yaowarat fireplace on Saturday evening, the majority of whom are migrant workers.

264 individuals applied for fire-related assistance at the district office in Samphanthawong, according to Anukul Peedkaew, on Sunday. Most were workers employed in the Yaowarat place, Bangkok’s Chinatown.

Wat Chai Chana Songkhram, Wat Samphanthawong, Wat Traimit, and Wat Traimit Wittayaram Worawihan School were the majority of the patients who were left unemployed by the incident. Some moved to shelters their businesses provided, Mr Anukul said.

The&nbsp, blaze in Trok Pho group started about 8.40pm on Saturday. In the community, sixty-five earthen homes were severely damaged or burned down. Additionally, the fire destroyed portions of two accommodations and adjacent industrial complexes on Yaowarat Road. Clients were taken out of Thianfah Hospital, which is close by.

One man was also missing. Designers had not yet performed security checks on the burned-out buildings. &nbsp,

Paisarn Charoenboonma, of Samphanthawong city office, said he heard some curls, like electrical transformer bombs, before seeing the flames.

According to Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, numerous migrant workers rented homes in the Trok Pho area and received support.

He added that friends were checking out of two nearby hotels as a result of the fireplace. He stated that Yaowarat Road may remain accessible on Monday.
