Around 400 staff and guests were inside the building when the blaze broke out. While a cause is yet to be determined, investigators suspect an electrical short circuit may be to blame. One survivor reported seeing flames erupt after a light fixture threw out sparks. “Then it started getting chaotic. After the fire hit the ceiling, I don’t think it was OK,” Piyapol Sukkaew told Thai broadcaster Channel 7. “It had gone on for half an hour and the fire trucks hadn’t arrived. After just five minutes, there was smoke everywhere.”
