Of those killed in the blaze, authorities from the Cambodia-Thai border town of Poipet said 17 people were from Thailand while one Chinese, a Nepalese and a Malaysian also perished, adding, no Cambodians were believed to have died in the fire.
Another six bodies were also recovered from the Grand Diamond City Hotel and Casino amid a two-day search but had not been identified yet because they were burnt beyond recognition.
