snoop1130 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 A fire broke out at a restaurant and cafe decorated with large amusement park-style structures near the Pattaya Courthouse this morning (August 5th).

Kerryd Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 "Back home" investigators would almost immediately be looking at the insurance policy (once they determined the cause of the fire of course). Like they say, when in doubt, follow the money ! The place is located meters away from the entrance to the Courthouse complex. Probably not a lot of business though (just like every other business in the hospitality industry right now). The story I read (somewhere else) mentioned they'd used a lot of some kind of foam in the construction, which apparently was also a factor in the last fire. (Might want to think about using a different contractor next time !) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Maybe they should have been closed 1st time around or at least instructed not to use the same materials to rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It might have to do with the location. Previously at the same or very, very close location there was a place called "Wood Box" or so. A culinary desaster and the "Fairy Sweet" thing lacks inspiration as well. Maybe call in the exorcists to rid the place from all those ghosts - latter eventually related to the neighbour to the right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's another 'act of god' for the insurance to sort out. Two 'acts of god' in a year seems a little suspicious though, it's getting to be a nice little earner.

My experience with Thai insurance companies (admittedly only on cars) suggests the agents are on commission on how much they pay OUT! I got rear-ended by a pick-up doing 150+ near Bangkok/Pattaya hospital. My agent pinpointed the point of impact to .005 cms off centre of my rear bumper which proved I had changed lanes so it was my fault! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 For the want of an extra twist of 3rd grade electrical tape on that 30 amp twisted cable join, this fire may have been prevented. Safety First! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
