Fire Victims' Daughters Urge Beer Bar to Make Contact
Two women killed in a Ladprao beer bar fire on July 12 had their families appeal for direct contact from the bar's operators, citing repeated failed attempts to communicate through social media and difficulty claiming compensation.
The daughters of two women killed in the Ladprao beer bar fire are appealing to the bar's operators to contact them directly, rather than leaving the burden of communication solely on the families of the deceased. A memorial service was held on July 15 at Klong Luang District in Pathum Thani for Kachaphorn Sodaratana and Phanitcha Singkhorn, both victims of the fire on July 12. The daughters, 25-year-old Kanthitcha and 20-year-old Natthatitcha, revealed that they attempted repeatedly to contact the bar through its social media page but never received a reply. When they followed up at Phahonyothin Police Station, the bar's lawyer offered preliminary compensation of 10,000 baht, but they were unable to claim it due to ongoing communication problems. As the grieving families, they are now asking the bar's management to reach out to them. Wiratchai Hada, the subdistrict chief of Khlong Sam, also attended the service to express condolences to both families.
