The Governor of Phuket, Chotinarin Kerdsom, has directed sweeping safety inspections across the province’s entertainment venues, hotels, and restaurants following a deadly fire in Bangkok that claimed multiple lives.

Between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., Police Colonel Nikorn Chuthong, Superintendent of Thalang Police Station, led a joint operation with district officials, local administrative representatives, public health officers, municipal inspectors, and other agencies. The team visited four establishments in the area.

The inspections focused on fire prevention measures, emergency preparedness, and compliance with safety standards. Authorities found that most venues had installed dry chemical fire extinguishers at high-risk points and maintained them regularly. Emergency exits and escape routes were unobstructed and functional, while lighting systems and fire exit signs were in working order.

Officials stressed the importance of strict adherence to fire safety regulations. Venue operators were instructed to conduct regular fire drills, maintain electrical systems, and ensure staff readiness for emergency evacuations.

Colonel Nikorn stressed that this is part of Thalang Police’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property. “We will continue to work with relevant agencies to carry out regular inspections, ensuring venues meet safety standards and building confidence among residents and tourists,” he said.
