Around 80 foreign and Thai guests in quarantine before being allowed to formally enter Thailand fled for their lives as fire broke out in an underground storeroom at a hotel.

 

77kaoded did not name the hotel that is situated on King Kaew Road in Bang Plee, Samut Prakan south east of the Thai capital Bangkok.

 

Ten fire engines attended the fire as smoke billowed from an unused snooker club area.

The situation was brought under control in about 30 minutes after it began around 9 pm last night.

 

Ruam Katanyu rescue foundation staff in PPE cordoned off the guests from other people in an area at the side of the hotel.

It is thought that a short circuit caused the fire in an area that had not been used for two years due to the pandemic lockdown measures.

Well it looks to me as if the " Underground Storeroom " was being used as a Snooker Club.

Have a welcome sign

Cold Drinks Machine, and a Table under the cover

The only things missing are the Beer Bottles.

Siam Mandarina hotel, has a snooker club slightly offset entrance but underneath the hotel.

I know what were they thinking. They should have been home under the bed with their masks tightly secured.

A fire at a hotel with 7 floors and not an aerial ladder in sight but the freshly red  painted water bowsers arrived and saved the day.

Good thinking, don't want guests catching anything from the locals.

Exactly!! the absurdity of it is so annoying, far more covid among the largely untested and minimally vaccinated population than a fully tested and double MRNA vaccinated tourist.

 

Hazmat suits should be donned by medical staff going to their local 7/11 if needed to escort tourists to their 10 day prison.

They'll probably be thrown in jail and fined for unauthorized desertion of their quarantine premises.

"Fulfill that burning ambition" Thailand 2022  Tats  new  slogan

 "Foreigners flee for their lives..." what? When is this forum going to stop sensationalizing fairly trivial news stories. And pick up the cry to end COE's.

Does this mean quarantine ends early?

Those are some rough scrubbers!

Or, they could have used the water cannon that aren't being used at the moment to drown democratic protests. Those that are still operational, that is.

Yesterday, my 12 year old nephew was afraid to pose with me for a photo as I'd been to a nearby supermarket and might have Covid. While the fact that he himself had recently travelled 100 kms in a packed van to visit a relative didn't count, as of course he couldn't have caught Covid to give to me. Even at that age he has the Thai mentality of foreigners bad, Thai good.

Don't rule anything out.

 

They've got more chance of catching COVID while outside their rooms.

Your absolutely correct, it doesn't matter what I tell my misses, most times  she'll reluctantly go along with me but if a Thai tells her the same thing then its gotta be correct no questions asked.

The problem was in the basement....????

Actually not.  Technically if you bust quarantine you have to start the whole length of quarantine again.  Hope the hazmat team does not hold the escapees to that. 

Maybe if the news channel bothered to watch the video they would realize that the name of hotel is shown a few times.

Sheeeshh....  go into full on exaggerated drama queen much ?????

 

 

No...  Bangkok is not in danger because ‘some people who have PCR tested negative’ evacuated a burning hotel...

 

The vast majority of the minimal risk those in Thailand (including Bangkok) face is from the >1000 new daily domestic cases.
