2 of those dead were my friend's friend ( all gals ) who first time came from outer province to bkk.
My thai wife was supposed to join them but bcos I don't feel like partying in a disco so she decide not to go.
We have met the 2 dead gals just 2 days ago after having dinner at siam discovery with my lucky friend.
After dinner when we were about to go home she say she need to meet her 2friends below.Whne we went down we had a brief introduction and then we parted.
On new year eve after the countdown my friend call around 1am crying.
This morning my wife followed her to chulalornkong and police hospital to identify her friends.My wife came back to say the death toll is more than 70 and not 59 as reported by the press.
My friend saw the fire first hand coming from behind the stage.Initially she thought that the mgt have arrange some kind of special fire work display but realiase something not right and ran out of the window.
There were 4 of them but 3 of them went to the toilet located in the basement by way of a spiral staircase.
1 of them told the other 2 decease that she go up first cos my friend is a lone at the bar counter.Less than 5mins after she got up the stage and the curtains caught fire very quickly and engulf the whole area in a very short time.
Many near the stage who did not manage to rush out in time due to the many people jamming up near the small entrance got burn.
Most of the dead died from smoke suffocation below the toilet as fire burn up but not down.
Some victims were burn and hardly be recognise but my friend manage to identify her friend bcos she was not burn but dies of suffocation instead.
She have not really identify the actual dead body yet as she is very frighten to see so many dead.She identify her friend from the photos taken by the police.
Most male victim can be easily identify bcos of their wallet in their pocket.
The harder ones to identify are the females as they carry bags.
My friends contacted her friend's family but they refused to believe it as her friends told them that they are going to kanchanaburi instead.
Haiz....really a sad new year beginning for those who loves that love ones.
