khunsanuk Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hi, For the last 10-15 minutes we have been seeing a large amount of firetrucks (as well as ambulances) heading in the direction of Klongtoey. Anybody know what the deal is? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSteve Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hi - I am at Times Square in my office on Sukhumvit, opposite Robinson at soi 12/14 and nothing going on around here except the usual gridlock around rush hour.....

Pom Michael Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 There is/was a fire is the slums next to the expressway as you pass Rama 4 road (heading towards port it would be on the left hand side, right after the entrance ramp from Rama 4 road). A lot of smoke and a bunch of firetrucks on the expressway, but it looked like no water trucks. I passed by at 5:15 and it was already burning.

khunsanuk Posted November 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hi, Yeap, just heard it on the news. There is even talk of chemicals in the air. Traffic of course is a fucking disaster. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Steve, Are you still in the office ? I just got a call from someone on Soi 10 who said that smoke is coming out of the top of the Big Blue complex on Suk between soi 11 and 13. Same general area as the fire from 6 months ago. Wierd evening if this report is confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSteve Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 I just came out of my office and about 8 fire engines were heading down Sukhumvit towards Big Blue - traffic then snarled up down soi 15 to the cut through to soi 3, so could easily be another fire at Ambassador hotel or around there. I sincerely hope they were not the same one's that Khun Sanuk saw an hour earlier. If they are, dont count on fast assistance if Nana Plaza went up, although I am sure the Tobacco monopoly will send up their fleet of about 6 fire engines at the end of soi 4. Strangest thing is that they had a fire at Times Square on Saturday - Berlitz language school closed and elevators screwed up all day. Must be the fire season as well as the end of the wet season!!

itsmedave Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Curious to see what's going on. Here, across from the G.P. in soi 11, Dee and I have been hearing a series of booms, sounding like thunder, gunfire, or fire explosions since about 7pm. Police/ambulance sirens were heard about 15 minutes later. It's been quiet for the last 10 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Just noticed your thread. About 15 minutes after you posted, my gf told me there was a big wild fire raging at Khlongtoey, slums and smaller building blocks are ablaze. She could see the mess from her balcony. Anyone from Boss Tower on line? Hope they are not too close to the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedave Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Any more news on the Big BLue incident? Dee went out and somebody told her that somebody was having a party with fireworks which would account for the booms we heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
