chiang mai Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Perhaps I am simply becoming more aware of my surroundings but I do seem to notice that there are a lot of fires involving business premises recently, ahem! I hope that there were no casualties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Were the emergency/fire doors locked this time?!! (remember the toy factory in Pattaya a few years back?) D1ckheadsand scumbags the whole ###### lot of them. I hope there were no fatalities. Once again, the rich and influential send the uneducated poor to their graves for a few baht's savings.

I hope that there were no casualties. I'm sure we will be seeing more of these...much easier than going thru all the red tape of officially closing. Does a factory that burns down have to pay severence to the workers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Clifton Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Sad for the workers although the city smells of smoke instead of chemically saturated khlongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownPoster Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Could it be the employees setting the fires? I recall some time ago, the Sanyo Co. gave dissapointing New Year Bonuses. The workers burned the place down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
