Central World

I am quite certain Central World had a good sprinkler system. However' date=' electricity and water were shut off in the area, as part of the campaign to persuade the Red Shirts to decamp. Sprinklers don't work very well without water...

Sorry

 

You dont know your arse from your elbow on this topic, Sprinkler and Deluge Systems are designed to function in the event of total loss of utilites, hence the reason for firewater tanks and diesel firewater "Jockey pumps" etc

 

FFS, in the case of major incidence one assumes total loss of outside utilities, and design the system to be stand alone. I don't know what you refer yourself to be with the name "Specialist" but you sure know fark all about Fire and Gas or Safeguarding Systems.

 

Go Google NFPA, IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 and LEARN. Muppet

 

Thank you for your polite, reasoned, level-headed reply. Something must have gone severely wrong with their system. (I find it very difficult to believe that Central World wouldn't have a good fire protection system, even allowing for TIT.)

Not being an expert in fire safety, like Mekong, I still would have thought that any fail safe system would and could not cope with a substantial fire, unless the pumps were connected to another vast water supply, otherwise the tank requirements would be massive. Thus, I could understand your query.

I was in Brisbane once, I didn't see many queens...

 

They used to hang out at a place called 'The Beat' (!) in the Valley, but I heard recently that its just a 'normal' nightclub now. I think a big part of the problem was that the place attracted (heterosexual) women in droves, presumably because they felt safer - before you know it, the gay and transgender crowd decide to go elsewhere. The Valley is about the closest thing we have to a red light district, but things have really gone downhill since I arrived here in the early 90s. If the nightlife areas in LOS were anything like the Valley I wouldnt even get on the plane.

Specialist

 

I will try to be a litle bit more level headed in this reply, having three families of Bon Kai Refugees invading my space is wearing thin on me.

 

What I meant to say was that your undersatanding (as well as 99.9999% of the populations) of fire suppression and deluge systems and the thought process behind the engineering and therefore sizing of such systems is rather limitied, not that such is a bad thing.

 

Previous posts in this thread such as "Can Thai's Not Get Anything Right" really got to me, It would be interesting to know how many people who pass such comments are either a) qualified to do so and B) have had first hand experience of working with Thais and other nationalities to pass comment on their competance.

 

In a polite way I will reiterate the fact that

the fire deluge system installed in Central World was sized for "Known Worse Case Scenarios" and was fully tested at intervals in accordance with NFPA guidlines.

 

I just get pissed when people (not yourself per se) look down and say "Dimb Fuck Thais"

Jeez now you are bringing back memories. I went to The Beat once when is was "un-normal". Went with some fag mates and some "fag-hags". Went to buy some drinks and the barman says in a very feminine voice with a lisp "oh you are new here - first drinks on us". Grabbed the drinks and ran.

It was not a high end mall, but a very useful one with good restaurants.

 

Central World at Christmas time was a magnet for Bangkok Thais to take pictures in front of all of the Christmas decorations. Always well done and it will be missed by many
