For context, below is what the constructing appeared like ahead of the fire.

It’s my understanding that only 1 “block” of the hotel burned, so most likely that’s a silver lining. Nonetheless, this is also the block with some of the general public facilities, so it’s the toughest to function with no.

If The Andaman does reopen, I assume it’s harmless to say that it will be a while prior to that takes place.

Bottom line
