Re: Bangkok Field Report
Police to charge Santika owner
By: BangkokPost.com
Published: 2/01/2009 at 01:26 PM The police planned to charge a major shareholder of Santika pub named Visuk Setsawad, better known as Hia Khao, for allowing people under 20 years of age to enter the venue.
A fire broke out at the nightclub located in Bangkok's Thong Lo district when partygoers were celebrating the New Year's countdown. The fire left at least 61 dead and 243 injured.
The police had interrogated 25 witnesses so far and had excluded arson in their investigations after knowing that the venue's insurance contact expired a long time ago.
However, Hia Khao had yet to appear before the police.
Forensic police could not identify 21 bodies yet.

Conspiracy theory is totally out.
Arson is rule out.Also it does not benefit the owner to sabotage the landlord bcos he'll the first to be prosecuted for
1) underage patron
2) Safety regulation not been followed
3) even though he did not renew santika insurance but the landlord might so no reason for the arson.
