A wood shop, looking at the link photo it looks more like a wood dumping ground.

There was some fuss going on behind my place last night, saw only a single fire engine and a few other vehicles. I am on the edge on Nong Pla Lai close to where Hwy 36 meets Sukhumvit. 

Very unlucky as there was a fire extinguisher right next to the pickup ????

On the bright side, charcoal costs have been significantly lowered 

Was this a timber pallet factory?

Luckily the owner had recently renewed his insurance.
