PATTAYA - A hotel damaged by fire was ordered closed by Pattaya City on Friday for safety pending a comprehensive check by engineers for any damage to the structure.
Marut Uthaiwatthananon, acting chief of Pattaya's Building Control Office, said the Sunday JA Plus Hotel building that experienced a fire on its rooftop on Thursday night needed to be temporarily closed for thorough inspections as it could have been impacted by the blaze. The city administration was also waiting for the building owner to submit a report explaining the cause of the fire, the chief said.
