With her mother gone, Kanticha said she is now responsible for her younger brother."I want them (the owners of the bar) to be the one reaching out to the families. Rather than having us come to the police station ourselves because they (family members of victims) would be going back to their hometowns by now," she said. "They won't have time, because each victim came from far away." A lawyer representing the bar owners told local media that survivors and family members will initially receive 10,000 baht or £244 in compensation."It's not enough money for a funeral — I had to take a loan to arrange my mom's funeral," Kanticha said. "I have not had any financial arrangements, and no one has contacted me."
