    No different to normal, average of 43 deaths per day is the norm for Thailand.

    Does not look like there were sprinklers as usual, and likely the smoke detectors would be only optical and not installed in the rooms.

    Beauty Queen she isn't and the related article has nothing in common with her problem so why mention it.

    If they stopped selling Paddy Fields to house builders then they would at least keep the amount of land available for growing it. Less land less rice.

    Has to be more to it. Tyres just don't explode and catch fire.

    This looks exactly like one that occurred a few years ago???. They went down due to Step Potential from the strike not direct hits.

    Looks like an NGV conversion not LPG. Storing cylinders like that is not the way to do it.. There are way to many accidents in Thailand of single story buses converted to two stories. Doesn't work.
  8. DGS1244
    Don't disagree with you but from 1st hand experience it sounds like the LPG in the cylinder did a 'BLEVE' most likely from being exposed from an adjacent gas flame. Quite common here.

    No such thing as an International Driving License, it is an International Driving Permit giving translations of you normal license. If you are in Thailand for more than 3 months then you have to have a Thai Driving License.

    About time.

    Monorails are a total waste of money, they fail and breakdown frequently in nearly every country that has installed them. The only one that really works is in Japan.

    Doesn't quite make sense. How did she go to an ATM to check if she did not have a card???
  13. DGS1244
    Not when it is for 20 persons.

    The warning system has not worked for years and the systems etc. that were supposed to be put in place have never been completed. It is also almost impossible to protect against natural disasters 100% anyway.
  15. DGS1244
    Should have been legalised years ago instead of letting other countries like Cambodia make all the money from visiting Thais.

    I doubt for one minute that the shooting had anything to do with the reduced tourist numbers. more likely that China if feeling the pinch from lower income and money is not so much available.

    If she was blindfolded how did she see a gun??
  18. DGS1244
    Agreed and use a company like Wise to make any transfers. Not rocket science.
  19. DGS1244
    Exactly

    It happens a lot in many countries where children are wearing plastic shoes. They think it is fun to rub there foot along the side of the escalator which heats and melts their shoes which then sticks to the tread. Seen it a number of times when I worked on escalators.

    There is no proof that a ECSPD system would have prevented the fire and if you check the numbers it mans that each 'Fire Appliance' carried two people, guess the driver and officer. I have checked so many warehouses in Thailand that are a fire risk.

    This whole thing is becoming a joke. from the pictures I have seen there was no exploding CO2 extinguisher and no faulty pressure relief valve which do not exist anyway on CO2 Extinguishers. There is a lot more to this story than we have been led to believe.

    And we still pay a 500 TBaht charge when you leave the country. Used to be cash but then they included it in all ticket sales and has never been cancelled.
  24. DGS1244
    Servicing and regular maintenance does not exist in Thailand.

    What a lot of scare mongering, I have seen a few and it is nothing like that. Many years ago I, as a paramedic, had to take a 16 year old girl to hospital following her attempt to cause an abortion as she was scared of her parents finding out. She died screaming in pain, as we carried her into the hospital, from septicemia and you want others to do the same. Get real.
