On Sunday, their excellency, the King and the Queen, expressed concern for those who were impacted by the fire that destroyed an ancient community in Bangkok’s Yaowarat on Saturday night and provided donations for the victims.
The Privy Council’s ACM, ACM Jom Rungsawang, visited the area to provide the aid package and offer their condolences to those affected by the most recent city fire.
Authorities claim there were no fatalities, but one person is also missing and 30 others require health care, mainly for older people who are experiencing heart issues and breathing difficulties as a result of fumes inhalation.  ,
Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, stated that he had ordered the government to help patients in any way they could.
The continuous director for social development and human safety, Anukul Peedkaew, said more than 260 individuals, most of them migrant workers, have registered for aid at the Samphanthawong region business now.
Most of the subjects were left homeless by the fire and stayed at Wat Chai Chana Songkhram, Wat Samphanthawong, Wat Traimit, and Wat Traimit Wittayaram Worawihan School. Some moved to shelters their businesses provided, Mr Anukul said.
On Saturday night, around 8:40 am, a blaze broke out in the Trok Pho group on Yaowarat Road in the Samphanthawong district. About 40 fire machines were dispatched to fight the blaze, which extended from the Chaloem Buri crossing to the Odeon circle.
At 11.16 p.m., rescuers finally declared the blaze under control.
The 3, 200- square- metre lengthy- standing community was packed with approximately 60 sturdy houses, many of which were burned over or seriously damaged.
Additionally, the fire destroyed portions of two hotels and adjacent commercial buildings on Yaowarat Road. Firefighters used a hydraulic hoist of a fire engine to safely rescue guests. Patients were taken out of Thianfah Hospital, which is close by.
Before the fire started, Paisarn Charoenboonma of the Samphanthawong district office claimed to have heard several bangs, such as electrical transformer explosions.
According to Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, many migrant workers rented homes in the Trok Pho community and received assistance.
He added that guests were checking out of two nearby hotels and that the fire had an impact on their operations. He stated that Yaowarat Road would be accessible on Monday.
The Plabplachai 2 police station’s chief officer, Pol Col Withawat Khengkhoom, said forensic investigators must question witnesses and gather evidence to support the case.
He stated that although the incident is expected to have an impact on local tourism, precautions are being taken to protect both locals and visitors.
