I wonder where they plan to build, and how far the support columns will go down? Any engineers here?

It's the first I've heard of it... Baiyoke Tower pilings go down 60 meters. To hit bedrock in Bangkok it could be between anywhere between 400 to 800 meters some sources place it deeper. The size of the footprint relative to the weight, hight, depth and the number of piles is perhaps the most important thing; however, there is nothing below us but sand and clay. The buildings here are at best floating on it.

I hope that wasn't a too simple response from a drunk.

Utter Nonsense. Bedrock underneath Bangkok is between 8 and 80 meters ! Not 400 to 800 meters. If it was like you described it, all buildings in Bangkok taller than 5 stories would have already sunk into the mud

Anyways . . . .when they start a tall building, they will always dig until they hit bedrock, before they pile down. You mentioned it yourself : Bayoke location took 60 meters until they hit bedrock. If they hadn't hit bedrock, they would not have built anything. You might say Thailand is 3rd world country, but most of their architects are from 1st world countries. They are not THAT stupid . . .

your last remark ? Hey, yeah. for someone who thinks you are floating on 800 meters of slimey mud above all the hard rock, even when drunk you could feel safe . . . nothing rocks ya any better

That's not true. Absolutely no building in Bangkok is founded on bedrock.

The bedrock beneath Bangkok is estimated at the depth of 500 to 1000 meters from ground surface.

The Baiyoke Tower for example is founded on a sand layer at about 50m depth.

this looks like the official website:

only in german language. There is a telephone number and email adress.

The Complex looks very new. I think the only way to find this place ist to send a email or make a telephone call.

Do you know something about the room prices?

Greetings Mike

Thank you for this post. You do a fantastic job.

Its Nong Khai all the way for those without their own transport,in fact if you have the time and money it can make for a decent trip,i recently did this run,i live near Lom Sak,so started out in Lom Sak took the bus to Khon Kaen roughly 4 hours due to the mountainous road through Nam Nao/Tat Mok parks to Chaiyaphum then on to Khon Kaen,stopped one night but could have got the bus the same day in KK,Next day bus to Nong Khai via Udon Thani slightly longer this one but good roads,so in reality one could get to the border with ease in one day on public transport from Lom Sak.But as i say well worth taking a little time and enjoying the ride,I stayed one night in Nong Khai took a tuk tuk the next day and the hassle free bus across,stopped in Vientienne 3 nights and headed back,this time breaking in Udon as opposed to Khon Kaen all in all a decent week and much needed return to slightly familiar surroundings.

Good luck and try to enjoy it if you have the time,its not difficult really.

Thanks for the infos, but i did exactly this trip last year. Only 3 days ago i went to the Tha Li Border for my visa run without car.

A more detailed description will follow soon.

Thanks for your help. I think i will try the visa run to the Tha Li Border by bus because i have the time to do that. If the trip isn't successful i can go to the Nong Khai Border.

I will share my experience of this trip and write in this forum.

Hello,

this is my first post on this forum. I have to do a visa run end of december(Tourist Visa 3 Entries). Last time i went to the Nong Khai border but it was long trip.

The problem is i have no car and i have to do my visa run with public buses. Is it possible to go to the Tha Li border with public buses?
