Now it is all silence, highly unlikely anything will be publicized about this again. In Ting Tong Land they are dead so lets move on

And so it is final, no one is to blame Case Closed.

CHIANG RAI — Police said today no one will face criminal charges for the blaze that killed 17 schoolgirls at a charity-run boarding school in northern Thailand last month.

The fire has been ruled as an unpreventable accident by investigators, despite the fact the Pitakkiat Wittaya School had no smoke detectors or fire alarms in the dormitory, and no adult staff were present when the fire broke out just before midnight on May 22.

[Mod Edit] Only reputable news sources please.

.................and no adult staff were present......................

This is completely understandable. There are very few adults of any description in the country.

Just have to wonder how the "investigators" are enjoying their brown envelopes.

I don't think it's envelopes in this case, just that building codes are not enforced and the employees are not to blame for that. Where are the government inspectors who certify the building is suitable for the intended use, they are the ones to blame.

But like you say there are few real Thai adults, they are all happy watching slapstick TV
