mallmagician Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) So I'm in bed, fast asleep this morning at 9.05, and I get awoken by these huge bangs. I hear people in adjacent rooms rushing out of their rooms. I thought fireworks, then dismissed this as it is 9.05 in the morning! Then I thought gunfire/bombs. Panicked for a second. What were these bangs? Any ideas? Phil Edited July 7, 2006 by penzman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may just explain the neighbors running out in a panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 An electrical transformer blowing can sound like a bomb. Most likely a nasty vehicle backfire. I been nearby a few which I would have sworn was a explosive. At night sometimes gun shots when teengagers ride around and shoot into the air. Woo hooooo :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Did you hear the loud bangs again this morning? Both yesterday and today the Special Forces Batallion here in T. Don Kaew (between C.M. and Mae Rim) were conducting an artillery exhibition for visiting bigshots. It's right across the street from where I live. I shot bolt upright from a sound sleep thinking maybe my car had exploded. Very loud and concussive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 > I thought fireworks, then dismissed this as it is 9.05 in the morning! Also.. It actually can be fireworks at that hour in the morning.. If there's a funeral/cremation area nearby then usually some fireworks are set off as well. But indeed, transformers blowing up at random are a cool feature of Thailand. Can be quite spectacular.
