3 years, 4 months ago about Bangkok Nightclub Fire

Where can I get a list of casualties for the fire at the Bangkok nightclub on New Years Eve (I have family in the area and can't get ahold of them)?

He is American and she is from Thailand. They were supposed to go out to celebrate New Years at a local hotel and haven't been in contact since.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If he was american, then you can probably contact the American Embassy who would have better access to casualty reports than you could ever hope to get. (http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/)

As far as direct access to a casualty list, I have yet to find one online. But, there is one somewhere, since this article references a person reading a friend's name from it(http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/news/display.var.2478707.0.fireworks_blamed_as_62_are_killed_in_blaze_at_thai_club.php)

Another option may be to contact the press who ran stories ont he fire. They may have a prelim. list.

Good Luck...=(

This was all I could find.

"Before the revelry was over, at least 61 people were dead and more than 200 injured when they tried to flee what swiftly became a charred, gutted ruin in a glitzy Bangkok entertainment area.

Several witnesses said a fireworks display during the New Year's countdown ignited the blaze. But one foreigner said he saw no pyrotechnics at the club and a video shot by a guest showed many inside the club waving sparklers shortly before the fire erupted.

Among the casualties were a Singaporean who died and at least 35 foreigners who were injured, including citizens of Australia, Belgium, Britain, France, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and the United States, according to officials and reporters.

A full accounting was not expected for about a week since nearly 30 of the corpses were charred beyond recognition."

Good luck :(
