webfact Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 By Online Reporter A German man and his young daughter had a lucky escape after fire quickly spread through their home in Cha Am on Friday morning. Officials said a cigarette butt that wasn’t properly disposed of caused the fire at the three storey property located close to Phanthurat Forest Park in Khao Yai District. The fire broke out in a bedroom on the second floor before spreading to an adjacent wardrobe and bathroom, officials said. Upon inspection of the bedroom, it was found that all furniture, such as the TV, bed, wardrobe, and clothes, were damaged by the fire, causing a loss of more than 50,000 baht.

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 Only 50k baht in damage? Really, a bed itself can cost upwards of 60k between tge frame and mattress and clothes are not cheap to replace either. Hope he had insurance for the dwelling and property. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kaoboi Bebobp Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) The No. 1 thing to NEVER EVER do is smoke in the bedroom. I smoke on the balcony and throw the butt into a tin can of water. A friend follows the same rule.

Popular Post Taboo2 Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 Very irresponsible on his part. How stupid can you be at that age to be so careless. I am sure he was raised properly to ensure that his kid would be safe. That includes doing a complete check every night before you sleep!!! He is lucky. That kid should be placed with someone who cares about her. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
