The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) said it will take about a week to assess the damage at the Major Cineplex Pinklao building in Bangkok, engulfed by fire Thursday, before deciding whether the building can be saved.

Prasarn Pitakvoraratana, director of the BMA's Public Works Department (PWD), said a team from the Engineering Institute of Thailand and officials from the department will inspect the building to evaluate the damage. The evaluation will take about a week as the structure must be examined thoroughly.

Authorities also declared the building off-limits.
