PHUKET: Three fire trucks took 15 minutes to extinguish a blaze in a bar near Loma Park in Patong early today.
The fire broke out about 3.30am in the Suremio Bar, which was closed at the time.
Owner Suriya Sinsok said the bar had been closed for the low season.
Firemen said the blaze was most likely caused by an electrical fault. Damage was estimated at 100,000 baht.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but it seems to me that a disproportionate number of fires are caused by electrical faults.
Perhaps this would compel the local authorities to tighten the building inspections (if there even are any).
I'm glad nobody got hurt and sorry for the financial losses of the owner.
