Club owner arrested


With the death toll now at 62, the new years eve fire at Club Santki seems to have been an act of wilfull stupidity.

The owner it seems decided to put on a firework display in an over crowded basement club with the exits shut and the windows barred. This piece of crass stupidity as got the owner arrested.

This also brings to light some of the dodgier practices that go on in some of Bangkok's night spots. Bad practice such as poor employee standards, no insurance, no licences and bribes to the local plod, all this will doubtful change long term, but the boys in brown will be running round making it look like they are efficient.
