PATTAYA, Thailand – Thai and foreign tourists were found in a state of panic, fleeing the building as thick smoke billowed from Room 301 on the third floor of a condominium in Soi Ko Phai, South Pattaya, at 3 AM on March 5.
Rescue workers broke down the door and discovered the fire had originated from a gas stove, which had burned part of the wall. Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames.
A witness reported seeing smoke coming from the balcony window of the room and immediately alerted authorities while helping evacuate residents for safety.
