How many times now already fires in premises Bangla Rd last few years? Just look at the 3rd world electric cabling.
Still a delayed court case going on about a disco rampage a few years ago at bangla Rd.( why delayed???) Is there ever going to change something to make tourist areas more safe for 'quality tourists'? And why the kathu police not picked up the telephone? It is all thai, just duck inn a few days until the' publicity fire' has gone, and than continue things old thai way until next fire break out. They never learn. Anyone seen the third world fireman equipment,? Poor firemen. ( health wise)

some electricity arrangements iv seen are rudimentary indeed proper earthing
no safety switches no standards & amateur hour electricians are major culprits here.
