Fire services were called to a 42 story building on Charoen Nakhon Road in Thonburi, western Bangkok, after fire broke out in a 40th story bedroom.

 

The apartment was rented by an Indian family of five but no one was home at the time.

 

Siam Rath reported that at 1.30pm yesterday more than 100 Thai and foreign residents of the block were evacuated.

 

The fire was extinguished within 15 minutes but a bed and household items were severly burnt in the gutted bedroom. 

 

A fire caused by an electrical malfunction is the most likely cause.

 

The family renting the room are being sought.

At first I was thinking they forgot to turn off the Tandori Chicken ....   but as no one was home then it wasn't that.

And if the Thai police are looking for the family that rented it ...  try some tables outside a nearby 7-11 or failing that try Mumbai.

Maybe they had a slow cooker?
