The brickwork is fine at least it is half bond which will give it sufficient strength .As others have said though ,has it been tied to the concrete posts ? In the UK we tie in every 6 courses(450mm) vertically on a build like yours (not suggesting that is the practice in Thailand) .I would hope that your structural brickwork has been tied in somewhere...at least ,er ...once?
OP, just in-case you don't know what a 'brick tie' is, one example ...
Difficult to find an example of one for an exact example of what you would normally use.
Sometimes they (Thai construction method) just pour a post and leave some reinforcing steel sticking out to 'tie' the wall to the post.
It's a good engineering principle.
.
I was involved in a recent job using breeze blocks to make a room under a wooden house on stilts....looked everywhere for some sort of wall tie to no avail...we decided to use strong mesh cut into strips and bent into an L shape...the l is nailed to the wooden post and the - is sandwiched between the blocks and cement...cost was about 130 baht per large sheet that made around 50 ties...worked very well

Sounds like the "tricks" were similar to what we did as kids in the UK on 4th November, which was called "mischief night". That was the night in history when the explosives were laid by Guy Fawkes and Co trying to blow up Parliament, hence, 4th November, mischief night, 5th November, bonfire night (commemorating Guy Fawkes being burned at the stake!!)
Mischief night was always much more fun than bonfire night, because mums & dads werent around so you could do stuff that wouldnt be approved of by parents!!
Ahhh, those were the days, bad tricks and fish and chips for a shilling....5p, thats 2.5 baht!!!
Guido Fawkes was hung drawn and quartered not burnt at the stake

The minute I enter my condo and shut the door I strip off to my birthday suit because it feels more comfortable in the heat and only don my clothes again when its time to go outside.......back in the UK its not warm enough to contemplate doing this
My g/f finds this quite amusing but is happy with the situation...luckily I have the body of Adonis
Today she told me that she had asked 3 or 4 friends of hers who have farang partners whether they did the same
The answer was yes
so are you a naturist when at home?

u can buy Citronella based mosquito repellents in your home country or here
u can buy it here in Tops supermarket
its a 120ml clear plastic bottle with a green label.....Citronella Oil Mosquito Repellent Spray
make sure the babies arms and legs are covered with clothing especially after 5pm
Citronella oil is popular as a 'natural' insect repellent. Its mosquito repellent qualities have been verified by research,[14] including effectiveness in repelling Aedes aegypti (dengue fever mosquito).[15][16] To be continually effective most citronella repellent formulas need to be reapplied to the skin every 30-60 minutes.[17]
Research also indicates that citronella oil is an effective repellent for body louse, head louse and stable flies.[13][18][19]
The US Environmental Protection Agency states that citronella oil has little or no toxicity when used as a topical insect repellent, with no reports of adverse effects of concern over a 60 year period.[20] Because some products are applied to human skin, EPA requires proper precautionary labeling to help assure safe use. If used according to label instructions in the US, citronella is not expected to pose health risks to people, including children and other sensitive populations.[2] The US Food & Drug Administration consider citronella oil as generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

Eight police rappelled down ropes from one helicopter to raid a house belonging to Noi Reungjai, wife of inmate Ratchaphum Phanchimlek,
why couldn't they just have gone thru the front and back doors?

its all rhetoric designed to allay the fears of the British public who will be voting UKIP in droves at the next election, nothing will actually come of it...........or did u really think he wanted to stop the hoardes of migrants that come to the UK and work hard for peanuts in factories and domestic settings to make his rich buddys even richer
