Strange story:

Victims' bodies evacuated via Trat some 6 hours' drive away when Aranyaprathet Thailand 100 metres away.

Multiple fires spreading very quickly, even spreading "downwards" on some floors.

Much more to this story.

So bloody sad. How the hell did the fire spread like this. I guess that either fire regulations are really slack in Cambodia or envelopes stuffed with money were handed out. Either way so many families are suffering now.

Substandard highly flammable material is probably why it became an inferno. Sounds similar to a night club that went up this year here. Sone just never had a chance.

It appears that the main building contained a large amount of highly flammable material, that the local fire service was not eqipped to deal with such a large blaze, and that there were too few emergency exits throughout the complex.
