On Thursday, the blaze broke out at the 16-screen Major Cineplex Pinklao in Bang Phlat district at about 11.30am. Forensic officials wait outside the fire-gutted Major Cineplex Pinklao building while public work inspectors go inside and determine if it is safe for them to enter and collect evidence. Also yesterday, more than 200 business operators at Major Cineplex Pinklao registered with authorities to inspect properties at their stores in the fire-ravaged building which was still declared off-limits.
