A mother who lost her beloved son in the Mountain B nightclub fire five years ago remains emotionally shattered after learning of the Ladprao beer hall fire, which claimed 27 lives and injured more than fifty people. The recent disaster has prompted painful comparisons to the earlier nightclub tragedy, with Nichapa Wongpakpaiboon sharing photographs from the Ladprao beer hall aftermath that captured personal belongings and a mobile phone still receiving incoming calls from worried family members.

In an emotional post, a woman who lost her son in the Mountain B fire expressed her anguish over the repeated tragedy, stating that such disasters are preventable. She recounted how her military-trained son, despite his physical strength, had no escape route and died from blood infection after suffering severe burns. Her family has endured five years of grief while their court case remains unresolved, and she challenged venue owners and officials to imagine losing their own children in similar circumstances.

She appealed to all stakeholders to prioritize customer safety over business profits and to implement genuine prevention measures. The mother expressed sympathy for the families affected by the recent fire while questioning whether those responsible would develop a true sense of accountability. She stressed that no amount of compensation could replace the loss of a loved one, and that families devastated by such preventable tragedies suffer lifelong emotional and psychological trauma that no amount of compensation can heal.
