A fire reportedly caused by a malfunctioning gas tank burned the kitchen of a Chinese man’s house in Pattaya yesterday, October 16th.

 

The Pattaya fire crew and rescue services rushed to a house in the Sabaijai village in the Nongprue subdistrict of Banglamung to extinguish a fire that broke out around midday.

 

A group of Chinese tourists stayed in the house, and they were all in a panic about the fire, according to rescue workers. The fire crew sprayed water into the kitchen and took only a moment to snuff out the fire.

I'm very surprised this doesn't happen more often, and WHY do I sit next to the gas tank when I eat lunch.  I know why, that's where the most comfortable chair is and it's a corner table where I can stare at all my massage ex-gf's as they eat lunch.  

 

Note:  Pick another seat you dumb falang!!!!   

Story fails to say if THEY installed the gas tank or a company installed it. If they went out and bought a canister and fixed it up themselves, this will cost them big time

Looks like the gas tank is inside the house?

People never learn.

How did the chinese tourists get out of China to come here ?

I had mine installed by a local company.  Two weeks later I ran low on gas; the 'engineer' had failed to tighten things up & it was leaking gas every day.  No refund so I changed company.  How to build clientele - Thai style.

Think you will find 95%+ of all Thai houses have the gas canister in the house. Nothing unusual about it.

The gas tank didn't cause the fire. A source of ignition started the fire.

True but, although many rural houses do that, they are made with leaky wooden boards so any gas leaks can escape.

But it is an unsafe practice.

We have one under the sink, as do many people, nothing strange or unusual in that.

They came in a gas tank disguised as a submarine.

Was this a propane tank? If so that is what have seen in many Thai homes.

 In Canada a gas tank is for Gasoline, or benzine, and not propane, etc.

I am a bit confused about this story.
