Anyone know what was on fire in On Nut last night? About a couple hundred meters down from Sukhumvit. I took a moto taxi and grabbed some video, very chaotic, huge fire down a soi but could not see what it was. Lots of responders and pandemonium as they tried to attack the fire I am guessing.

I am uploading the video to Youtube now and will post when its done.

I am sure it happens more often but I rarely see big structure fires in Bangkok, so was a bit shocked by it, I am surprised there not more the way things are here and not much hope it seems to fight a fire this size when you can not get equipment in and find access to water...

No news about this anywhere - will wait for your video. Will I be waiting long?

Sorry video is not great, one handed on the back of the bike...you can see the area of the fire at about 35 seconds, it was down a soi some ways or behind a building that fronts On nut.

So this "huge" fire (that you could not see according to your first post) was as a result of inaccessibility to the soi and no access to water? How do you know this, you're surely not just speculating are you?

Nice video of heavy traffic anyway, something rarely seen on Onnut.

Just seen the last word in your OP, "guessing".

It was a three story shophouse on fire.
