With what happened to Santika last night, I am thankful that my Thonglor/Ekamai pub crawl days were long over.

But that doesn’t mean that any other hangout places are safe in Bangkok.

Did you know that the party at Santika last night was called, “Goodbye Santika,” as they were moving the club to RCA?

None of my closest friends were there last night as far as I’m concerned.

Another great piece of story to be added to our wonderful 21st century history.

EDIT: Stupid Quote of the Day

Police Commissioner-General Pol Gen Phatcharawat Wongsuwan Thursday ruled out an arson in the fire that killed 59 pub-goers at the famous Santika Pub in Bangkok late Wednesday night.

Phatcharawat said he had received a preliminary report from forensic officials but the cause of the fire had yet to be determined.

He ruled out an arson, saying nobody would intended [sic] to cause so huge casualties.

Well, isn’t that really any arsonist’s intention?? Arson or not, there was definitely an idiot involved. A firework indoors??
