[Cramle]

So I take it that there were no injuries or anything.

 

[rihannafan]

[Nowhere Man]

LiL sometimes we have the same thoughts! This was immediatly in my mind. -Would be :mad2: if- like that . Has anybody new infos about that, is i-t a gang thing ?

Hope also nobody got injured.

A distinct possibility. A fire is a little less obvious if there is a mafia war going as opposed to directly shooting some one in the heart of Bangla. Either way I don't think Patong will ever be the same safe place it was 5 years ago.

Just always make sure you take care in what you do and where you go.

 

[gutter_fly]

Why am I not suuprised that they have a fire now and then. If you see how they fix the electricity...

 

[GloBee]

I was called down there at 5.30am this morning as I have a bar in Soi Crocodile. I just went down again this afternoon to check everything out.

The disco and cabaret show below are totally gone however all the bars are ok and weren't touched. Only problem for the bars is no power at the moment but hoping that it will be back on in the next couple days.....

 

[Gadfly]

too right captain, poor building and safety standards seem rife in los as with most less developed countries.
a disco uses huge, amounts of electricity so overloads and shorts would probably be a major concern.

 

[Guest 2548]

I went home 03:40 last night and at that time I have to walk past Soi Crocodile to enter the parking lot, at that time everything was fine.

I heard the fire started around 05 in the morning.

I went and looked earlier today, as was surprised to find out police closed Soi Eric aswell but we will be open tonight anyway.

 

[Mordent]

I guess someone went home with a Katoy and got mad when he found out she/he had something attached between the legs .....

There goes DM's and Alfie's favorite hangout away from MTB. :

Fire guts Crocodile Disco


PATONG: A fire early this morning gutted the popular Crocodile Disco on Soi Bangla, causing damage estimated at 40 million baht, according to the disco’s manager.

The manager, Amnuay Kuabkum, told the Gazette that the fire broke out around 5 am, while guards were sitting outside to ensure the safety of the three-story complex, located at the end of Soi Moulin Rouge.

The soi, more commonly known as “Soi Katoey” because of its go-go dancing ladyboys, is home to one of Patong’s most popular strips of beer bars.

“The other shops had already closed, so nobody knows how it started. I just heard from the police that the building was gutted,” K. Amnuay said.

Forensics experts from the Phuket Provincial Police were trying to determine the cause of the blaze, he added.

“The damage was about 40 million baht, because everything on all three floors was destroyed. We plan to rebuild and hope to reopen in about six months,” he said.

He said he did not know whether the owner had insured the building.

A source in Patong said that the nearby Soi Gonzo beer bar strip had been cordoned off as a crime investigation scene and that it was unclear whether it would be allowed to open for business tonight

Our cinema at home used to have a fire on a regular basis - dodgy insurance claims.In the end all the locals and the new owner called it The Pheonix.

It is strange that Lightemup is in town.Perhaps he is finding Patong too boring after Bagdadno:

Only joking Lightemup.:what:

Inside the main Crocodile there was alot of rough electric jobs and a massive amount of disco equipment and lighting.It probably would have happened sometime.Just glad the place was closed and there were no injuries.
