Inferno erupts at Pattaya luxury clubhouse
A luxury clubhouse in the prestigious Nusa Chivani Pattaya Village of Na Jomtien was devastated by a ferocious fire yesterday.
The blaze, which ignited on the second floor, rapidly consumed the entire two-story building, fuelled by a stash of documents and bed sets. Thick plumes of smoke filled the sky, visible for miles around, as the inferno raged.
Local firefighters from surrounding municipalities sprang into action, converging on the scene in a desperate bid to control the fire and avert further catastrophe. The fire’s intensity was staggering but the heroic efforts of the fire crews helped to contain the destruction, preventing it from spreading to nearby structures.
Initial investigations suggest that an electrical malfunction sparked the fire. The first sign of trouble was the emergence of smoke, which alerted workers on-site, but the flames quickly escalated beyond control.
The financial toll of the fire is expected to run into millions of baht, though the exact cost is yet to be determined, reported Pattaya Mail.
A detailed investigation is currently underway to uncover the precise sequence of events that led to this disastrous blaze.
In related news, the bustling streets of Pattaya bore witness to a heroic act on April 22 when a vigilant city worker prevented a potential catastrophe. The worker, holding a part-time job as a motorcycle taxi driver, sprang into action when he saw flames engulfing overhead cables in Central Pattaya’s Soi 16.
Discovering the flames on communication cables 5 metres above the ground, he perceived the imminent threat of the fire reaching the nearby air conditioning compressors and causing an explosion.
