Fire Electric Bicycle Charging Sparks Condo Blaze in Pattaya – Fire Alarm Does Not Sound
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. Panic gripped residents of a Pattaya condominium early morning on 7 June, after a fire broke out due to an exploding electric bicycle battery, forcing occupants to flee. The building’s fire alarm failed to activate during the initial outbreak. The incident occurred at a condominium located in Soi Thappraya 15, Pattaya, Chonburi province. Emergency services, including Pattaya City Fire Department, Sawang Boriboon Rescue Unit and Pattaya Police, rushed to the scene following a distress call from the city’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Radio Centre. On arrival, firefighters found flames in a section of Building B, with thick smoke billowing from the structure. Dozens of frightened residents were seen fleeing the building as authorities worked quickly to evacuate them to safety. The blaze was traced to Room 210 on the second floor, where fire crews battled the flames for approximately 30 minutes before bringing the situation under control. Although the fire was eventually extinguished, smoke continued to hang heavily in the air. Initial investigations revealed the fire had been triggered by an electric bicycle battery charging at the rear balcony of the room. The building’s fire alarm system did not activate until after the fire service had entered the building. The unit’s occupant, Mr. Dandrieu Thierry 57, a French national, and his Thai wife, reported being jolted awake by an explosion. Thierry explained that he had been charging the electric bike battery on the balcony when the first explosion occurred. He attempted to smother the small fire with a damp cloth, but the battery exploded again moments later, igniting a rapidly spreading blaze. Despite his efforts, he was unable to contain the flames and immediately contacted condo security and emergency services. Police Lieutenant Sakayapat Chaidet of Pattaya Police Station confirmed that the incident is being treated as a likely case of electrical problem from the battery unit. The room suffered extensive smoke damage and from effects of heat. Forensic officers from Chonburi’s Region 2 division have been called in to conduct a full investigation. No injuries have been reported at this time, but the incident has raised serious concerns about fire safety standards and the growing risks associated with lithium battery use in residential buildings.

Report Thai Roads: Quiet Amidst Chaos, The Culture of Low Horn Use
The Thai's love their whistles. The Airports are the same, I watched the guys while I having a smoke. Blowing their whistles so constantly & unnecessarily. They seem to think they have the power of a tiger. Not only excessive noise but it also echo's throughout the passage way. Hand signals can work 95% of the time. Save the whistle for uncaring drivers & parkers. Very annoying. -

Life of a overstayer.
Wo, wo,wo: first I don't complain about nothing: I just ask how someone can live in this situation. Is not my business and I know that: was just a question. He doesn't live near my place of work, but near where I live...and I don't live in Sriracha. -

Windows 11 HOME/PRO, & Chinese WORD input
I think the problem is not that it's Windows Home, but Windows Home Single Language. But you should still be able to add a Chinese keyboard. You just won't be able to change the Display language, without a bit of jiggery-pokery. Take a look here for the jiggery-pokery and follow the instructions How To Install Windows 11 Language Pack Manually Offline *.Cab File installation: https://appsforwin10.com/windows-11-language-pack-download/ Otherwise, the worst case scenario involves simply upgrading your current licence to Core Home or Pro for a few baht. No need for a new device.- 1
