Fire Victims Urged to Keep Medical Records for Full Compensation
Fire victims at Bangkok's Brew Pub can claim full compensation through civil damages, state welfare, and liability insurance; authorities urge preserving medical records and registering with police immediately.
Thanat Thammisukol, head of consumer protection at the Consumer Foundation (FCL) and coordinator for Bangkok's consumer organization, expressed condolences to victims and families of the major fire at the Brew Pub at Ladprao near Ladprao Soi 1 on July 13, 2026. He detailed victims' legal rights to claim full damages and compensation through civil law, criminal proceedings, and state welfare.
Civil damages claims can include all medical treatment costs (past and future), lost income during recovery, pain and suffering compensation, and disability or permanent injury damages. For fatalities, victims' families can claim funeral costs, lost financial support for dependents, and compensation for damaged property like vehicles or phones.
Victims are also eligible for state disaster relief funds from Bangkok's Jatujak District Office, the Justice Fund for legal assistance, social security benefits if employed by the establishment, and compensation from the venue's liability insurance without waiting for court proceedings to conclude. Victims should immediately preserve all medical documents, register with authorities at Phahon Yothin Police Station (02-5122447-9) or the temporary assistance center at Phahon Yothin MRT, and consider joining collective legal action if needed.
