An overnight fire at Catflaps Pratamnak, a popular Pattaya gentlemenâs club in Pattaya, will close the bar for weeks, but no one was hurt and damage was contained to the ground floor.
The fire at Catflaps sparked around 2 a.m. Monday, after closing time but flame-retardant soundproofing in the ceiling halted flames from spreading upstairs.
Ironically, Catflaps last month had just gotten a summertime refresh with new paint across the bar.
Bug Zapper Responsible for Fire at Catflaps
Management said security cameras showed that a âbug zapperâ short-circuited, sparking the fire at Catflaps. Damage is estimated at approximately 200,000 baht. Catflapsâ full reopening will come in August.
Before the fire at Catflaps, The bar had installed flame retardant soundproof ceiling tiles to isolate upstairs areas, a step management says “was lucky” since the flare-up was limited downstairs.
With repairs about to begin, they said additional fire-safety measures will be added to make Catflaps the safest gents club in the city.
The barâs staff, including Catflapsâ resident hostesses, are being temporarily relocated. They can be found at The CamelâŊ Toe on Soi Khopai 10 and FreeâŊWilly on Soi Regional Land Office.
The Taco Fridays at Catflaps will be hosted at FreeâŊWilly until Catflaps reopens.
