The fire occurred in the office section of the shopping centre building on the 8th floor, according to Bangkok Governor Assawin Kwanmuang.
It is reported that one person died and several were injured: two people who were cut off by the fire from the exits jumped out of seven-story windows onto the roof of a one-story extension to the building. One of them died, while the other is now in intensive care in critical condition.
