PHUKET: Fire broke out at a shop near the Patong beachfront this evening (Apr 12) while thousands of tourists engaged in water fights amid the Songkran Thai New Year celebrations.

 

Police are urging motorists to avoid Thaweewong Rd along the Patong beachfront so that emergency vehicles can access the area.

 

Initial reports indicate that the fire started at a shop on the beachfront road near the street that leads to the Patong Tower Condo building.

"We believe the fire might have started from an electrical transformer on a power pole in front of the shop," he added.

 

No surprise there then and the shop owner should be seriously considering suing the PEA.

Umm must be different here fire fighting electrical fires ????

Hopefully they didn't pour water on the transformer, but the fire it caused required water to extinguish.
