About 400 people had to be evacuated when fire swept
through a Third Road massage school.
Pattaya Disaster Prevention and Mitigation
firefighters were called to the Thai Saisiam Massage Center Aug. 7 and
took about 20 minutes to extinguish the blaze. No one was injured.
School technician Passakorn Wongsuna said he
discovered the fire inside one of the massage rooms and shouted for
students and teachers to evacuate.
The cause of the fire is being investigated, but
firefighters said it could have touched off by an electrical problem or
a cigarette igniting a massage mattress.
