Sattahip —

A 36-year-old commander of the Royal Thai Navy was reported as the 17th death of the Mountain B club fire.

A report today has confirmed that a Naval officer, Pralitdet Chumngern, a 36-year-old commander of the Royal Thai Navy, has officially passed away peacefully at the Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok due to a 60-80 degree burn.

Officer Pralitdet is considered the 17th casualty of the Mountain B club fire, following Mr. Sittichai Ouilert, a retail store owner, who died yesterday, August 10th. He is one of the top-tier pilots in the Royal Thai Navy, according to his family and friends, and also the hero who helped several victims out of the blazing club.
