Museum and 4D Theater destroyed in 10 Million Baht Central Pattaya fire

PATTAYA: -- A museum which was only 4 days away from opening was destroyed by fire late on Sunday Night. The Museum which featured a 4D, 360 degree theatre area was due to open on 14th October. An electrical short circuit in audio and visual equipment stored in the roof area is thought to have caused the blaze which caused the roof to buckle and there were fears of a complete collapse of the building at one-point which were later allayed. The building was constructed earlier this year at a cost of 100 Million Baht.

I must be very stupid, but I am unable to discover where this particular place is!

Pattaya One seems to have a clear pattern now of not specifically pointing out the actual locations of news items. Really bizarre.

My Condo building nearly went up in flames last night as well, also an electrical fire, on the 7th floor. Luckily it was contained in the room, pretty swift response from the fire crews at 3am

Insurance beats a decent business plan..

Was it at the "Miniture Royal Barge Performance Center" ?????????????

From the newspaper website: "it happened at these coordinates: 12.933562,100.904387 Next to the Tesco Lotus Store on the East Side of Pattaya, next to Soi Sukhumvit 49. Picture is a bit outdated on google maps but this is the exact location of the new building."

Not exactly what I would call "Central Pattaya".

This is Pattaya One news not Reuters or Associated press, don't expect any sense, logic or anything of value in their reporting.

I'm suspecting that it is Royal Garden Plaza which has the Ripley's Museum and the 4D theatre..

You seemed to have missed my point.

Recently, there was a police raid on a shopping mall in Pattaya.

Pattaya One failed to name the mall.

You seem to think its based on incompetence. I think it's something different than that ... hint hint.

I think everyone knows what you mean , it certainly ain't incompetence.. more so a conflict of interest in more ways than we could probably imagine!

I spoke to the horse's mouth today. He admitted that the location of the museum/4D complex was rather vague on the TV report. The location is just behind the Numchai shop on Sukhumvit close to the Tesco mini-mart. So now we know.

[Darrel]

So now we know.

We've known for 2 days: I posted the full GPS coordinates and location description higher up post #8, as given on the newspaper website.
