The message reiterated Panama's sentiments of "respect and friendship" toward Thailand. The government expressed confidence in the "strength and resilience of its people to overcome this difficult trial." The fire, which broke out late Sunday and was controlled past midnight Bangkok time, saw most fatalities attributed to smoke inhalation rather than burns.
