Initial reports indicated that the source of the incident was on the sixth floor. Smoke was found inside a room, but there were no visible flames. The preliminary cause was believed to be an electrical short circuit inside the room. Authorities have not reported any injuries from the incident.
Pattaya firefighters successfully brought the situation under control, preventing the incident from developing into a larger fire.
