Cannabis Extracts Face Stricter Controls Amid Regulatory Shift

A fire broke out early morning of October 10, at a prominent university in the Thanyaburi area, destroying two minibuses and a van parked in the campus garage. The blaze, which was reported at 06:00 quickly engulfed all three vehicles. The fire is suspected to have been caused by a faulty battery in one of the minibuses, an issue that had been reported several times without action.

 

Pol. Lt. Pornchet Prommune, an investigator from Pratunam Chulalongkorn Police Station, responded to the incident along with three fire trucks from Rangsit Municipality. Firefighters worked for 40 minutes to extinguish the flames, which had already destroyed the vehicles by the time they arrived. The vehicles, two minibuses and one van, were parked closely together in the campus parking lot.

 

A 57-year-old security guard who was on duty described hearing a loud explosion from the middle minibus and noticing no fire, Initially thought nothing of it and returned to his post. Another security guard then ran over to inform him of the fire, prompting both guards to rush to the scene. The guard noted that the middle minibus had been left with the battery charging overnight, a practice that had been a source of concern due to a deteriorating battery. Despite multiple reports about the battery’s condition, no action had been taken to replace it.

 

A nearby resident, identified as Mr. Mongkol, corroborated the guard’s account, stating that the middle vehicle was frequently left to charge for extended periods. Mongkol, who was in his room at the time, was alerted by the sound of the fire and rushed outside to see the vehicles already ablaze. He mentioned that five vehicles were parked in the lot, but only two could be moved in time. The remaining three vehicles, including the minibus with the faulty battery, were completely destroyed.

 

Pol. Lt. Pornchet has begun an investigation, documenting the scene and collecting evidence. The forensic team is expected to conduct a detailed examination to determine the exact cause of the fire.

 

The incident has raised concerns about the university’s response to safety warnings and the potential risks posed by faulty equipment left unchecked. Further investigations will seek to clarify the cause of the fire and whether negligence played a role in the incident.

Whilst an insurance scam is possible, can one assume they were actually insured, many Thai vehicles are not.

This wasn't an EV...  It was an ICE (likely diesel) bus, that had a conventional (12 v or 24v) bus battery (the same as the battery on any conventional ICE car.

Speculations, not assumptions.

 

Just like most of the comments about alleged brown envelopes, maybe they actually don't exist here, people just speculating...

"Speculation" is more considering several theories or possibilities without having made an absolute decision, whereas "assumption" is more definite and usually based on guesses and information you don't really know enough about to make a informed decision. When we speculate we generally consider. When we assume, we make decisions about what we think happened, or what we think we know. For that reason, assumptions can be quite negative in nature, whereas speculation is more thoughtful.

Any how the point is YOU do not know  Cash flow Problems, need insurance money
