This follows the deadly blaze on August 17 in which four people – two Thais and two foreigners – died, and in which a French tourist was severely burned.
Evidence submitted to support the charges includes the architects’ report citing many ways in which the disco broke safety laws, and a separate forensic report that found the fire started inside the building and was not triggered by lightning, as claimed by Tiger’s lawyer, Tomrongsak Boonyaruk.
Causing death by negligence carries a maximum penalty in Thai law of 10 years in prison and/or a fine of no more than B20,000.
Mr Tomrongsak told The Phuket News, “Sara Entertainment is ready to fight these charges.”
