webfact Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Picture: 77kaoded 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. Picture: 77kaoded 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. Picture: 77kaoded 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. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-10-07 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 777-3.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cake Monster Posted October 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2021 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. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
