Just a thought--the many times I thought about a fire breaking out in Lucifer's Disco in Ptty. The bottleneck in the middle with the stairs--what a nightmare I always thought.
What a hellish inferno that would be--Turely Lucifer's disco.
Thailand is and will always be a risk--it is part of why I go.
My thought go out to the revelers

THE RESPONSIBLES: The real responsible for the Santika death is the whole system of corruption. This forces operators to pay bribes instead of making their place safe and sound. Many more lives are at danger. Just have a look at the locked emergency exits in Pattaya's famous walking street located "Lucifer" pub.
This is all possible because there are no checks, no controls and nobody cares, for the least the responsible organizations approving the issuance of licenses. A majority of hotels also operate with license but no genuinely checked building. Governmental control is a joke and as long as this does not change many more death are to be expected. But then... who cares? At then end of the day, despite apologies, crocodiles tears and other public theatre, nobody seems to care and it will go on and on...

the big problem which has not been addressed anywhere (that I have read) the place probably had 400 more people inside that would be safe regardless of a fire.
I have been a few times including an evening when Tata Young performed. It was so crowded that if for any reason people panicked, there would have been serious injury at the very least. And the stairs to the mezzanine were where everyone stood to have the best vantage point for the stage acts, thus completely blocking them.
IMO, many people wrongly assume that because it is an upmarket place, safety features should be more of a foregone conclusion. Sadly, t'ain't so.
Pyrotechinics are still being used indoors within the USA. Checkout many sporting events as well as concerts for example.

read todays bangkok post. the three exits were insufficient for 400 people.
the main gate was just 2.18 meters wide.
in case of fire, the door would be adequate for just 200 people to escape.
cause of fire?? apparently somebody thought it was a good idea to throw his sparklers up the ceiling. others followed...
the fire rained down on them.
this according to an eyewitness.
I'll be the one sitting next to the main or an emergency exit (which I double checked beforehand) if somebody is looking for me in a large bangkok club e.g. tunnel, spice, spicy, lucky2.
seriously!!

Testimony of a Singapore survivor of the Santika fire:
I would like to share my experience with you guys when the night this incident happen. I was there and I am a Singaporean celebrating my new year countdown there.
Not long after the count down, the band started their normal route playing on the stage. my table was just about 4 meters away on the left hand side (just below the V.I.P area with table cushion) of the stage.
This is my girlfriend which I took a photo of her and right behind is the performing stage. The mention "White Coffin" suppose to be the Disc Jockey playing station had already been move to the right hand side of the stage.
We were given I call it "fire sprinkle" before the countdown began and this is not the cause of fire. we enjoy while everybody in the club were waving it happily as the clock welcome the year 2009. It was an enjoyable moment and there is another pyrotechnics display outside the club. The pyrotechnics display were ignited on top of an old building opposite the club.
After the display finished outside the club, I and my gf enter back inside the club about 10 minutes later, misfortune incident happen. It was the house band when the incident happened. I am not sure who is the "smart guy" that plan this show because they tied a pyrotechnics infront the bass band. it was ignited when the singer jumped up. I was just 4meters away from the stage so I can see clearly that after ignition, the remain base of the pyrotechnics still on fire and in my mind I was wandering will it burn the stage? I lay my eyes on it and about 6-7 seconds later it died off. But less than 1 minutes, just above the roof of the stage, fire broke out fiercely. the singer and band started to run and people started moving towards the "only exist" as patronise/clubber known.
i hold my gf hand and walk in double pace towards the entrance. in my mind, I know that there should be enough time to get out if we happen to stay calm. but things were not as my predicted. the entrance being jammed and unmovable. with the smoke burning in fast, I detour a level down which is the toilet. upon entering the toilet, I can see people still cleaning their hands and washing their face unknowing what is happening outside? I can see a big size man not knowing his nationality looking surprise because my gf is with me when I enter the gent. at the end of the toilet, there is a big glass door which I taught there might be another entrance out but upon reaching, it was just another dead end.
i think to myself at this time that I shall not died here as it just the begining of the year. while I was thinking way to get out, the whole place blacked out. about 3-5minutes later, I say to myself that I should make a 2nd attempt out thinking the entrance should be cleared and without much consider I grap my gf hand and headed upwards toward the entrance again.
before climbing up the stair, I can see 2 ladies holding hands togather trying to make their way up but fell off trumbling down a small flight of stairs. another lady was seen sqauting at the stair crying and I make my way up to 1level. I can see many people were lying on the ground and the bodies were stacked up about 3 lying human height. it was a really impossible task to go thru as they are victims of a stampede. the atmostphere is smoking up and temperature rising so I pull my gf hand not letting go of her headed back to the toilet. she also fell because the visibility is very low and there are still people trying to get out. (the toilet and entrance is just a flight of stairs up and about 8meters distance to get outside)
the atmostphere inside the toilet is less smokey than outside so I took of my shirt and make it wet. we sitted on the floor just to lay low started putting water on our bodies and cover the wet shirt on our faces. there is a security/bouncer at that time staying togather with us in the toilet. he started to tell everybody in the toilet to stay calm as we will be safe here. there were about 20-30 persons stranded inside the gents not sure any inside the ladies.
the fire still burning on top of us and you can hear things falling down and I am worried that the roof of the toilet might not take it. everybody stay very quiet and observe the surrounding, I can see bright light outside and the only thing I can do now was chanting "Namo tassa".
about 20-30minutes later, I can felt a stream of warm water flowing down into the toilet on my buttock area and immediately know that the fire department had arrived. this told me I am only 40% safe and continue to sit quietly and wait.
about 10-15minutes later, 2 firemen came inside wearing breathing gear and I know that the fire already being control/extinguish. I grap my gf hand and with the advice of the fireman proceed out with caution climbing up the stair.
the first sence that I saw was a woman leg; body face down all charcoal and a man laying face up, both hand stiff pointing up. this man should be the one that I saw when I enter the gents while escaping because of his big size. further up were the stack of stampede bodies about 3 lying human body height at the entrance. we were lead out towards a wall that has been knock down on the other side.
there were 8 of us in this group, i'm the only Singaporean & my friends are all Thai. 2 of them manage to escape out when the fire started. 6 of us including me hided inside the toilet. 1 of the lady in my group was too shock had been sent to hospital for some light treatment. My GF has a wound on her left feet when she stepped on a burning debris. All of us were lucky to be alive.
i cried in my heart when I saw all the bodies lying at the entrance and the effort all Thai's civil servants had put in especially the Wat Hualumpong (Sam Yam) Medical Group. I went to Sam Yam today to do another donation and saw them pining up pictures of decease bodies from Santika which had been burnt to charcoal.
i went back to Santika yesterday night to lay flower and light candles for those decease. May they Rest In Peace. I Observed the building and conclude if there isn't a lower level toilet at that time, we will be in the list because everything on ground were burnt.
i post this because I happen to notice that a forum member friend brother was among the dead which I felt the family should know what had happened.
