Fire at Ekamai on Sukhumvit this morning

[Argus Tuft]

So there was a brief but pretty big fire at Ekamai an hour and a half ago

Any news on this?

Would have posted earlier, but Thai Visa was down for a long time

 

Photos taken by a friend of mine in Prakhanong

It was a burning public bus.

No report on fatalities.

The source with picture is not tolerated to link to in Thaivisa.

My friend guessed it was a bus first up, but we weren't sure

 

I take responsibility for the photos.

Fire seemed to be out as of an hour ago.
We were surprised the BTS kept running during the time those photos were taken.  Can't have been too pleasant up on the platform!
