Hm

Just a few weeks ago I was trapped in the ironically named "Makestic " on soi Banchana in Jomtien.

It was scary and it took the local maintainence team 30 minutes to

get the doors to cooperate and open.

I have read that modern elevator systems(ours has got to be 30 years old and has broken down many times)

have safety systems that allow them to get to the next floor and automatically open in the

event of power failure. Does anyone know if any of these systems are actually in

use in Thailand?

Yes, they are in use in the condo I own in Jomtien. Experienced it myself , the elevator goes down to the next floor and doors open.

Cool. I wonder what

the status is of view talays like 1 and 2 that are fairly old but too popular....

one more reason I love my ground floor condo :-)

I would be more afraid of having some pattaya junkie slitting my throat while I'm sleeping than getting stuck for a few hours in an elevator.

not likely to happen at my place with 24 hour security.

I have 24 hour security too...
