The Thailand Office of Insurance Commission is tracking insurance assistance for people affected by the Lat Phrao brewery fire, coordinating with insurers and other agencies to verify coverage and help victims and the heirs of those who died obtain policy benefits. Latest information cited by the commission shows 33 deaths, with 28 victims already identified. Checks on those cases have found 11 deceased who held accident, credit-related or other relevant insurance policies, and the commission has coordinated with insurers to issue claim payment checks. The business where the fire occurred had fire insurance with Dhipaya Insurance Public Company Limited for a total sum insured of THB 40 million. The policy covers THB 25 million for the building, THB 13 million for furniture and equipment, and THB 2 million for stock and beverages, with coverage running from 18 March 2026 to 18 March 2027. The commission has asked the insurer to survey and assess the damage so compensation can be considered under the policy terms, while also checking whether the deceased and injured had life, personal accident, health or other insurance cover. The remaining deaths are still undergoing identity verification or coverage checks. The commission said it will continue coordinating with insurers and relevant agencies to help affected people and heirs secure the insurance benefits and claim payments due under their policies.
