Yeah, corruption has to be taken into account. I know it sounds sh🙊tty but I am having a hard time believing anything they report here at the moment. The probability of an envelope with a sign off, or just incompetence, it has happened plenty in other countries over the years. Juristic staff have become annoyed here in our condo, farang owners/tenants all want to know who came to check, copy of the report etc. The real test will be the next shake. Stay safe.

I read an engineers comment saying that as it appears to collapse in on itself, it may have been caused by the the piles not being deep enough into bedrock. Any clay would have liquefied and foundations collapsed.

Japanese engineering for earthquake resilience is impressive.

That makes more sense, cheers. Update: They are spraying for termites we've been told. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This, a friend told us last night she had to treat a guy, who after running down ten flights of stairs in sheer panic, decided to jump out the 2nd floor window to save himself. Broke his leg.

Our condo is already trying to use the building maintenance guys to prepare a report about the structure for the tenants. There is a lot of shoulder shrugging going on. The first thought isn't safety but how does this affect my wallet. Someone this morning sprayed some type of blue coloured adhesive where the walls meet the floor in the corridors. Of course nobody bothered to sweep the debris on the floor first so that's all just glued down now too.

Clay

So who's being misleading here? Thailand claims that no one was willing to provide assistance to the Uyghurs, yet there are reports from other countries stating otherwise. What’s the real story?

They are totally unwilling to deal with this issue?

Just remember the five D's

All I know is that when Waterworld happens, a luckier community will build their dystopian floating compound around one of these.

Considering how he exits stage left so adroitly every time.. Keyser Söze for sure

See, they have various nuts in glass bowls, they're all good, bye, don't write.. It reminds of that scene in the movie The Interview, where the guy discovers the shop is plastic fruit and fake fronts.

If you have the time, 5 years on average, will cacao trees grow here?

test the blood!

What's the big deal, just another drunk ahole, you can find one almost anywhere on our planet.

I'm for protesting but not for property damage. that said.. Teslas torched with Molotov cocktails and shot with gun Rule No.2 of Zombieland Double Tap

Yeah it looks that way, telling the truth all the time worked when they're only about "50" of us on the planet, but now with 8 billion.. and the whole perspective thing, no way. Seeing how people these days react when getting called out, if everyone started telling the truth all the time, it would be a murder planet.

I don't have to go to Phuket to see this, the capital has its own share.

I thought he was planning on ignoring the court orders anyway?

I like topics about growing food. "Gardening adds years to your life and life to your years." Yeah, I had this view too when I first arrived, about too many thing in fact heh. Silly me.

Nice The "cousins" just south of Bangkok planted a smallish plot with cacao about 3 years ago, now it's a waiting game. I saw some photos at Xmas, it's doing well.
