Versace Fashions, one of the 101 businesses scheduled for demolition on South Pattaya’s Walking Street, burned to the ground in an early morning blaze on February 25.

The fire, possibly caused by a faulty circuit, started at around 4 a.m. on the second floor of the tailor shop. Two small fire trucks first on the scene were unable to control the growing inferno, and other trucks were hampered in their efforts to reach the fire, as a small army of baht buses clogged Walking Street.
