George Bowman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Coming from Bagna Trad towards Ramkhamhaeng Road using the Eastern Outer Ring Road, I could not help but notice huge black clouds of smoke. This is about three kilometers before where one has to pay. Even the taxi driver slowed down to take a look. Basically, he said the fire was big. The smell of burning plastic has now drifted towards Moobaan Sammakorn. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 There's a 100 rai rubbish dump on fire and the area has been declared a disaster area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negreanu Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Last night woke up smelling burning went outside real electrically plastic type smell about 2am. Srinakarin area. Dunno if its the same thing. Aircon was pumping in the fumes so had to turn it off. Edited March 17, 2014 by negreanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fire may take days to put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bowman Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 If anyone had read the OP they would have realized that there are TWO sites burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Which are where? The OP doesn't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bowman Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Common sense says that the one in Samut Prakarn is far from what the Op posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) A 100 rai fire anywhere seems big to me. But perhaps someone (with common sense) can identify a second fire, or not! Edited March 17, 2014 by chiang mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wym Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Who knows what sort of nasty stuff is in that smoke. Exactly, I'd definitely be getting out of dodge until things blew over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
