Hotel puts the phone down on foreigner complaining about the smoke

An Australian model and English teacher living in Thailand was disgusted by what he said was a hotel in the Sathorn area spewing black smoke into the air. 

 

Sanook reported that Sunny Burns called the hotel to complain about the smoke emerging into Bangkok's already smog laden atmosphere from a rooftop vent.

 

They put the phone down on him. 

 

Mr Burns - who once appeared on reality TV modelling show The Face Men Thailand - posted a video of the smoke saying in Thai: "Yer mark - mai dee leuy khrap" (there's a lot (of smoke) - that's terrible).

 

In his written post he told how he had called the hotel. He said this was the view from his condo, people were getting sick and it was really sad. 

 

Sanook said that PM 2.5 particles in the capital's air were at almost record levels around 200 with governor General Asawin Kwanmuang ordering more than 400 schools shut for two days.

Thaivisa notes that Sunny Burns is known for being something of a local celebrity claiming to be an attractive English tutor. He was once implicated in the Erawan bombing after someone who looked like him appeared on CCTV.

This guy does anything to be i the spotlight.

Best solution: before the smog kills him he should go back to where he comes from,

Time to crawl back in your hole Sunny, you have managed to get yourself in the media again.

Did you call the offending hotel?

Did they put the phone down on you?

Or are you making up a story for media coverage?

[VocalNeal]

Probably the boiler cranking up to heat the water so he can take a shower...Oh wait...

 

More likely the periodic starting/check of the emergency generator.

 

Such is life....

 

What a snowflake.

 

The person who answered the phone was probably young with no sense of sarcasm or irony.

"Oh Dear. Thank you very much sir for your observation. I will immediately call engineering and ask them what is happening. Thank you for your call" Click...

 

Just a side note. That is what will eventually happen to the caller if he dies in Thailand. Selfish bugger.

tomas557 maybe you are Sunny, you appear to be the only 1 supporting the plonker.

[KittenKong]

Whatever his motives are the man is entirely correct to say that Thai companies and Thai people often pollute massively and that they mostly dont care at all. So I applaud him.

 

The hotel should be closed by the health department until it sorts its smoke emissions out. The same goes for all vehicles that pollute excessively: off the road immediately until fixed. There is no valid excuse for polluting like that.

God forbid someone who is young and good looking does something in Thailand... the cheek of it, doesn't he know only old gits are allowed to moan and bitch in this country!!!

And so modest too. There again, he has a lot to be modest about.

I am sure if the guy was ugly old and wore a singlet and had a beer in his hand he would have gotten a lot more support on thaivisa. ???? Its  a GOM forum  ????

From a Thai point of view there has always been a perfectly valid excuse for "polluting" nobody else cares, now "maybe" something will be done? "Social conscience" cannot be translated into Thai, never been taught - Me,me & me has long been the mantra, now they are paying the price, be it on the roads, the enviroment, daily life, frankly they sowed the seeds now they are reaping the negatives!

That seems to be true. But looking at that video this time he has a good reason to come forward.

Thanks Colin, now I can see that the above vicious barking at a young alpha male was in fact self-mockery...

I don't think the fact he looks like an under-nourished boy band member comes into it. Anyone else would get stick for this too.

That's probably what the Thai staff told him, before hanging up.

Haha..., how long has he been in Thailand? If for more than a week, he'd know what Thais give on complaints, esp. coming from foreigners... ????

[Wallander4]

Amazing to read how many thai apologists that support these idiots and their smog

[Lucius verus]

He's the sort of Aussie who joins Invasion Day street protests purely to throw eggs or spit at the cops. 

Not newsworthy.

But, do they care?

[HLover]

A male model calling to b*tch about air pollution?

Ending the waste of time conversation seems reasonable.

Surely he self filmed the premeditated horror of the event.

More Facebook likes for this shemale.

Why - my thoughts are that due to the indoctrination period they go through (School) it removes any sensibilities or free thought ?

Getting stick for what? Protesting against pollution?

Being an attention whore. As if ringing up a hotel is going to solve the problem.

You're a sad bunch. The guy is at least trying to do something about it, by contacting the polluter, and if that doens't help the media.

All you're doing here is moaning about the guy doing something.

Sad.
