Balloons Sent Four Danes to Hospital
On the night between Sunday and Monday four Danish students rushed to hospital after a nice evening out on Khao San Road.
By Morten Perregaard
On night in Bangkok ended very unfortunately for four Danish students on a study tour in Thailand.
At 2.30 AM, early Monday morning, the Nation Police Call Center received a phone call that a blast had occurred at Royal Hotel Bangkok, room 124.
The four students had bought around 30 balloons after spending a nice evening at Khao San Road.
When they arrived at the hotel the balloons went up to the ceiling. That caused a blast with sparkling fire when the balloons hit a heated lamp, because the balloons were filled with hydrogen instead of helium. The four students suffered 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burn on their back, hands and breast.
Two of the students are now discharged from the hospital while the two remaining Danes will spend another week or two at Vashira Hospital in Bangkok.
The four Danes are among a group of around 30 students from the Engineering College in Aarhus.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your comment on Scandasia.
According to our information - both from the hospital and among the students - the balloons were inflated with hydrogen instead of helium. Hydrogen is highly flameable as you also wrote. Otherwise an explosion would not have occurred, and no story could have been written...
Best regards

Chris :
You never inflate balloons with hydrogen or oxygen. Both gasses are highly flameble. Remember Hindenburg. Everybody uses Helium, which is not flameble and when you inhale it your voice will be like that of a ladyboy.
