Popular Post rooster59 Posted September 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2018 Surat Thani oyster farm and hotel burns down after staff use oil and diesel as mosquito repellant Image: Banmuang An oyster farm and resort has burned down after staff sprayed the entire property with liquid containing oil and diesel in a bid to keep away mosquitos. Sinmana Farmstay located in Kanchanadit District is popular with tour groups who stay at the resort and catch oysters. Ahead of the arrival of a large tour group who were due to stay at the resort this weekend, staff created a concoction containing oil and diesel and sprayed it all over the property believing it would stop mosquitoes from bothering the soon to be arriving guests. While it is not clear exactly how the blaze started, a spark ignited the property, with the blaze spreading rapidly throughout the resort at around 5pm on Friday evening. Fire crews battled for three hours to put out the blaze, which is estimated to have caused more than 10 million baht in damage. No one was injured in the fire. Meanwhile, Daily News reported that officials are now investigating claims of encroachment and that the resort may have been illegally built. The claims were made by local fisherman who said they had been unable to make a living because of the location of the resort in the water.

fakename Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I can just imagine what other mixtures they might use, maybe something to keep the oysters looking fresher! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy chappie Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Just seen the video on liveleaks.they were using diesel and gas as a mosquito repellant before a new boatload of guests arrived.somehow it ignited and probably not one fire extinguisher on site or hose and pump.obviously illegally built and a fire trap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 the mindset: spray a liquid intended as mosquito repellent, it's composed of flammable ingredients but because of it's intended use that attribute is negligible.

CanuckThai Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Maybe the property's MGMC (Major General of Mosquito Control) mistakenly distributed Jerry cans of petrol, instead of diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexlark Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Local version of Shelltox perhaps? Perhaps the even bigger stupidity was imaging that a place of aquaculture would make a wonderful mozzie- free resort. Run before you can walk syndrome.
