The families of the two missing Singaporean men who died in Bangkok's Santika club arrived in the Thai capital on Monday to claim their bodies.

Air traffic controller Leslie Yeo Bee Soon, 40, and undergraduate Lu Weiye, 26, were identified through DNA testing and partial dental records and confirmed dead by Thai authorities on Sunday.

They were among 62 people, including Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) officer Teo Sze Siong, 38, killed in the New Year blaze, which also injured 229 others who included three Singaporeans.
