Thread: Fire Breaks Out at Pattaya Condo, Hundreds Evacuated, Several People Injured

A foreign man has sustained burn injuries after a fire gutted a condominium in the Pattaya area while four others sustained injuries from smoke inhalation.


Pattaya City firefighters were notified of the fire at 1:30 A.M. (February 4th) at the Amazon Residence Condominium in Soi Wat Boon Kanjanaram 5 in Nongprue, Banglamung.


Firefighters with multiple fire engines, the Pattaya City Police, the Pattaya Tourist Police, and the Pattaya News arrived at the scene shortly after the first phone calls from quick thinking condo guards came in.

About 200 hundred people live in the condominium and most of them are foreigners. Many residents were seen escaping from the area via stairwells when rescue workers arrived. Firefighters found that the fire was in a room on the eighth floor of the second building of the complex.

Four people sustained injuries from choking on smoke. An unidentified foreign man also sustained injuries from burns and a head injury. He was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Security guards from the condominium told the Pattaya News that they were notified by residents that a fire had broken out on the eighth floor before they helped others to escape from the building for safety and called for help. The guards were praised by rescue workers and firefighters for their quick response in assisting residents to evacuate.


As of press time the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation and will be updated when relevant authorities have completed a review of the affected condo.

A drunkard and a chip pan?

Where's SA?

I have a sneaking feeling that he just might have concluded something negative about 70 million + people.

Don't be so fucking stupid, you oafish moron.

It’s actually in Jomtien, one of those spec built “value” developments targeted at the Russians at a time before Putin’s invasion of Crimea would precipitate the ruble collapse. Blocks, 8 floors high, arranged in a courtyard style around a central swimming pool and bogus jungle setting. With over 800 units, I think you’ll get the idea this is a high density project only attractive to someone reared in a Soviet environment. I think you can rent at 6000 baht per month which gives you an idea of the demographic. Half a mile from the beach, near a main road, middle of nothing.
Deffo cheap Russian charter dross, Tefler and hanging-on-by-fingernails material.
Probably make ‘Arry feel quite nostalgic for his Essex slum estate.

Sounds like you know the building well.

You gibbering idiot, ten years ago the ground and first floors of Central Festival mall were littered with property kiosks advertising these developments, all staffed with clueless bimbettes and a chancer from some shitty agency. It used to be a sport dawdling by them provoking them into a frenzy of PR pap for what were little more than prison blocks with a window and tiny balcony.
’Arry, if you want to be taken more seriously and not for a knuckle dragging oik, drop the adolescent use of emoticons.

JFC... If that's your idea of sport!

Why the fuck do you think I post here, if not for sport, you gormless, dull-witted cvunt.

To bitch, whine, and complain, all the while painting with the widest brush ever created?

He must think his attempts at acerbic commentary don't make him look a total hoser for retiring somewhere he hates.

My dear Seppo, one needs to counterpoint your predictably tedious and facile banality.

Well, to a certain degree, it gives some form to your otherwise futile little life.

FTFY.

Poor ‘Arry, he still doesn’t get it, it’s his wretched society, his dreary stupidity, his sheer unappealing worthlessness that is inescapable, ‘Arry is universal, he is everywhere and none of us more sentient folk can live anywhere without his contagion.
The horror, the horror.

So you look at me as a sort of God, really.

That's heartwarming.
