webfact Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Fire at Big Jiew’s houseBANGKOK: -- A fire broke out at the three-storey house of ex-premier Gen Chavalit Yongchaiyuth in Nonthaburi early Wednesday forcing him and his wife to run out of their bedroom.Both the general, commonly known as Big Jiew and his wife Khunying Louise were unhurt but the fire damaged the pray room on the third floor.Khunying Louise was reported to smell strong smokes at about 1.30 am today and she immediately awakened the general and other members of the family to run out.Firemen were alerted and immediately rushed to the house with five water trucks.They doused water to a room on the third floor and were able to keep the fire under control in half an hour.The room was used as a pray room where the fire was originated.Forensic police were inspecting the actual cause of the fire today.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/fire-at-big-jiews-house -- Thai PBS 2015-10-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm...err... incense maybe caught the 4,000 wooden thing-a-ma-jiggies on fire? The picture looks about as flammable as a Canadian's stockpile of winter firewood.

zaphod reborn Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Karma. All those amulets he paid a fortune to possess, all gone up in smoke. The pursuit of "luck" and "good fortune" purchased with ill-gotten gains is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just1Voice Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Well, there went a few million in ill-gotten statues and amulets. Som nom na. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I reckon the plea and donation was not adequate for the forgivness of past sins nor good luck for the future. Unless a non adoring individual may have been involved, thus some may say all went as planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuchulainn Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Maybe The Sandman will help you. Oh no, I forgot; he'll have to bail his incompetent sister out. Keep on praying then, Big Jiew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pursuit of "luck" and "good fortune" purchased with ill-gotten gains is laughable. All those amulets and non of it with a protection against fire magic on it.... What happens to the magic of the amulets when they are burned, does it remain in the ash, or does it boil away. If yes can it condensate, or even distilled and injected into new amulets?

springheeled jack Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 what could actually catch fire in a pray room this is a room which also houses Buddha memorabilia and from the looks of it there doesn't seem to be much room to pray .

Artisi Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Well there goes some of the evidence - up in smoke like a Jewish stock-take and probably insured for 10x the actual value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Cause of fire - 'strong smokes at about 1.30 am'. A sure fire recipe for disaster; they were both as high as kites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 His presence in the prayer room was too much for the spirits, in the face of so much hypocrisy they decided to to commit suicide and burnt themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
