BANGKOK — About 400 guests and staff were safely evacuated from a hotel in Thailand’s popular seaside resort of Pattaya whose facade caught fire before dawn Friday, police said.He said an initial investigation found that a short circuit sparked the fire, which began in an area overhanging the hotel’s entrance and spread along cables to the third floor and then to several higher floors. Three firetrucks took about half an hour to put out the blaze.
A hotel staffer who declined to give her name said by phone there was no major damage and guests were later allowed back into their rooms. A daytime photo of the hotel appeared to show that most of the damage was external, with siding and some windows burnt.In 1997, more than 90 people were killed in Pattaya in one of Thailand’s worst hotel fires, Authorities blamed the management of the 17-story, 450-room Royal Jomtien Resort Hotel for neglecting fire safety measures.
That blaze drew calls for stricter safety regulations. Antiquated laws had left fines for violations so low that owners would pay them daily rather than correct problems.
All electric wires are opened and closer to buildings in Pattaya. No safety in Pattaya. I was there in room 202. When you start journey towards Pattaya you can see these open wires.
So the guests and staff got out. Fine. But what about all the hookers?
Who goes all the way to a beach in Thailand to stay at a Holiday Inn Express?
Buildings are evacuated, not people. Unless the writer meant something particularly vile.
Crazy shit, fire started out of no where. Ok lol
Me: Where’d you stay last night? Holiday Inn Express Pattaya: 🤬
