As it happens I left Patong about 14.50 and I never saw any ambulances on my way back to Kata, but I stopped at Lotus in Kata and 2 ambulances passed on way south (Chalong direction), one was Patong Hospital ambulance, the other was a private foundation, no sirens and they were not in any hurry.

Shit, I just left my shop on Thanon (not Soi) Katekwan at 14.15 appx. I was on Patak Road when a policecar came up on me, as did lots of police on motorbikes.

With some bad luck I had been at Alpina a bit later than I did.
