Walker88 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 If an 'engulfing' fire only caused 500K baht in damage, the pigeons must have been the guests. Five star it couldn't have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayWright Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Technically possible. Pigeon excretion contains "Saltpeter", one of the 3 ingredients needed to make gunpowder. So if they could muster some charcoal say from an open wood burning fire and Sulphur, say from some match heads or concrete powder, mix them together and chuck a lit match onto the mixture, then, booooooom. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunLA Posted June 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I don't know about explosion, unless something stored where they hang out. But fire ... yes. Imagine a nest built over an electrical junction, and or any exposed wires. "Pigeons build nests far from predators, so they may build them on rooftops or even chimneys. Nesting materials like twigs, grass clippings, straws, etc., are extremely flammable so they can quickly catch fire. Moreover, the fire can be worse if the area is full of bird droppings as bird droppings are also flammable."

ThailandRyan Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 4 hours ago, KannikaP said: Come on, pigeons causing explosion......HOW? Well the story says this, so maybe it is pure speculation on how it occurred. The investigation into this peculiar incident led authorities to a peculiar discovery – a pair of pigeons had unknowingly triggered the explosion. The exact details of how this occurred are yet to be determined. Authorities are currently working to gather more information and piece together the sequence of events that led to the pigeon’s inadvertent role in this incident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think the song by Tom Lehrer 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park' would be most appropriate and embraced enthusiastically by the hotel owners. https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube+poisoning+pigeons+in+the+park&oq=you+tube+posoning&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i13i512j0i13i30j0i8i13i30l11j0i8i13i15i30.23487j0j7&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:47eb1b33,vid:YmPFT8EnLUg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
