Fire at Cannabis Cultivation Facility Sends Smoke Through Jomtien Neighbourhood
Pictures from responders. A fire broke out at a cannabis cultivation facility in Jomtien on the night of 13 February, sending clouds of smoke through a nearby residential area. The incident left some locals feeling dizzy, while some foreign tourists reportedly found the situation amusing. At 22:05, the Land Public Disaster Relief Radio Centre received reports of a fire at a four-storey commercial building on Soi Welcome Jomtien, Bang Lamung. Emergency responders, including firefighters and Pattaya City police, were dispatched to the scene. The fire was concentrated on the second floor of the building, which was used as a cannabis cultivation room by Little Christiania Co., Ltd. Firefighters worked to contain the blaze, but the smoke made their efforts challenging. Due to the nature of the burning plants, the fire produced a pungent smoke that spread throughout the neighbourhood. It took over 30 minutes to bring the fire under control, though the lingering scent of burnt cannabis remained in the air long after the flames were extinguished. Many responding officers were seen covering their noses to avoid inhaling the fumes, after suffering some mild effects. Ms. Kanjana Fangsantia, 40, the facility’s manager, confirmed that the company had received official permission to cultivate cannabis for medicinal purposes. She speculated that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit in the lighting system used for plant growth. The estimated damage is around 200,000 baht. Following the fire, residents and tourists in the area reported various effects from inhaling the smoke. Some locals complained of dizziness and headaches, while others were left with red, glassy eyes. Meanwhile a number of foreign tourists were seen laughing and giving a thumbs-up as they enjoyed the unexpected turn of events. -- 2025-02-14 -

Tariffs on Thailand
It looks like Trump may eventually impose retaliatory tariffs on Thailand due to the high import duties Thailand places on U.S. goods. In the short term, this could hurt Thailand's exports, but in the long run, it might squeeze Thailand to finally lower its import duties on American products. If that happens, it would be great for people living here, making it easier and more affordable to buy goods from Amazon and other U.S. retailers without the steep import taxes currently in place. You can order most stuff online from Amazon in the US now with free shipping, making it much more cost-effective to order stuff from the US. The only killer at present is the added on Thai import duties. It could be a little bit disruptive to the Thai economy and local manufacturers that sell to the Thai domestic market if more people start ordering stuff from the US. But I think the impact will be minimal. It will hurt the Thai government more though because they have been the big winners from collecting the high import tariffs on US goods for decades.
