Popular Post webfact Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 A woman’s act of lighting candles and joss sticks to pay respect to her car on Chinese Sart Day went up in flames. The car, parked in a private parking lot in Samut Songkhram, was engulfed in flames, threatening over 20 nearby vehicles. Firefighters swiftly attended the car fire scene today, quickly extinguishing the blaze. The incident involved a Honda Civic Sedan, with registration number 5กช6480, owned by 36 year old Alisa. The vehicle was parked in a car park when it caught fire, with the flames rapidly consuming the entire car. The urgency to extinguish the fire was heightened as the location was a private car park where over 20 vehicles were parked nearby. It took approximately 20 minutes for the fire department to bring the fire under control. Upon investigation, the mother of the car owner revealed that her daughter had lit joss sticks and candles to pay respects to the car for the Chinese Sart festival. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/car-fire-risk-in-samut-songkhram-womans-chinese-sart-day-ritual-sparks-blaze-threatening-20-vehicles-2 -- The Thaiger 2023-08-31 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

There are always petrol vapours in an enclosed garage the petrol tank on a car is never completely airtight. In fact there is a hole to allow air in to replace petrol that is used 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete mistery to Darwin's theory. These examples of which we read are not the 'tip of the iceberg' as some would wish to believe, but the extreme end of the spectrum. Most Thai's are not this stupid, otherwise as you mention, how would they have survived. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
