A sister searches for her younger sibling missing after a devastating fire at a Bangkok beer bar that killed 27 people and left 45 unaccounted for, hoping she survived the Jatujak district blaze.
A sister searching for her younger sibling after the Ladprao beer bar fire hopes her relative is still alive. The massive fire at a bar near Soi Ladprao 1 in Bangkok's Jatujak district has claimed 27 lives, injured 71 people, and left 45 missing.
On July 13, 37-year-old Suwanna Saetiao arrived from Surin province to locate her younger sister Jarwari Semsiri, a recent master's graduate, and another woman, Police Sergeant Pemika Onsi, who had visited the entertainment venue with friends. The last time the family heard from the younger sister was around 10 p.m. when she called their father. When the family later tried to reach her after learning of the fire, a rescue worker answered her phone.
The family contacted the condominium where the sister lives and confirmed she had not returned home, suggesting she may still be inside the venue when the fire occurred. With her name not appearing on either the death or injury lists so far, the family has come to the coordination center to seek updates. The family is praying their sister is alive and among the injured being treated at one of the hospitals, and is appealing to the public for any information about Jarwari Semsiri and Pemika Onsi to help locate them.
