"Tabletop" construction no exist. They have these, but likely used computers.

You keep saying that. I done googled it, and can't find "tabletop" or similar phrasing in relation to earthquake resistance standards. Could be everything about the construction was fine, from the design to materials to construction to inspection. Who approved the site? And who owned/controlled the land before it was purchased for the project? Could be whoever did, or didn't, do a site evaluation finding the location suitable for building a tall structure on a portion of Bangkok prone to turning to mush in response to tectonic activity......

CREC or CRCC? Conflicting reports. https://www.crecg.com/zgztywz/index/index.html https://english.crcc.cn/ **EDIT** Appears to be a subsidiary of CREC China Railway Number 10 Engineering Group Company is not CRCC. A backbone enterprise of China Railway Engineering Corporation, which is one of the World Top 500, China Railway No.10 Engineering Group Co., Ltd. is a super-large state-held cross-industry, transnational construction corporation, mainly specializing in contracting architectural engineering. https://www.devex.com/organizations/china-railway-no-10-engineering-group-co-ltd-100364 It makes a difference when assigning blame.

CREC? From the other thread, Italian-Thai Joint Venture (ITD-CRCC) is responsible for reconstructing the collapsed State Audit Office (SAI) building Two separate entities. By revenue, CREC is the largest construction company in the world in the 2015 Engineering News-Record "Top 225 Global Contractors".[2] In 2016, CRECG ranks in the 57th place among Fortune Global 500 Enterprises[3] and the 7th place among Top 500 Chinese Enterprises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Railway_Group_Limited China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (abbreviated CRCC) is a listed construction enterprise based in Beijing, China, that was the second largest construction and engineering company in the world by revenue in 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Railway_Construction_Corporation

Are you sure about that being a "table top" building, and that there is no core? The outside may or may not look similar while partially constructed. Anyway, CRCC does have some expertise building tall structures. CRCC Completes World's Tallest Hotel Building Project https://english.crcc.cn/art/2024/12/19/art_441_5035144.html And this appears to be an under construction photo.

Depends what latitude they had. Likely none on construction materials, particularly steel and concrete. More discretion perhaps, although would still have to be approved, for using different materials for the cladding or interior flooring, or the thickness of the drywall room dividers. Possibly might have substituted gold colored toilets in place of solid gold fittings in the executive washrooms.

You're okay with racism and sexism and other 'isms, as long as your voting block gets the goodies?

Snow White? Just look at what they've done to Star Wars and Doctor Who/They/Them!

Dunno....maybe protect them from local authorities destroying the evidence that building plans were followed and approved materials were used in construction?

That's a lovely photo! What does it mean? Are you a structural engineer? What do you know of building design standards? Do you know for a fact that is against code? If that is NOT normal/standard construction, then is that what the plans called for? If so, who designed the building, who certified the plans, who approved it? Did the construction joint venture build what was called for in the contract? As long as approved materials were used......... The government had their own inspectors on site throughout the process. They had the blueprints, they saw the same planks of wood holding up the building. They approved construction up to this point.

They need office space for all the thousands of finance and accounting personnel who will be auditing foreign tax resident income tax returns.

They sure are, and they ain't stupid. What are the odds that the Italian-Thai Joint Venture (ITD-CRCC) is a legally separate entity from both ITD and CRCC, has no assets, is merely a management company set up for this particular project to be dissolved at the end of construction OR if the building implodes, allowing the two main investing companies to walk away unscathed.

This will be fun to watch when the court proceedings begin. All religions are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Provide some detail if you have it. I see it as a response to recent incidents, passing a useless regulation that solves nothing. What does it solve having an importer - buying a device from China or Korea, selling to an independent installer - procure a "license"? I'm not aware that the escalators in the recent reports did not meet industry standards, but rather were either incorrectly installed or poorly maintained.

Is it an effective change? The law, according to the article, only requires that importers/manufacturers need a license, and items sold meet "updated" standards. Are there any items that didn't meet the standard when sold still in place? Were any of the recent incidents involving these items cause by lack of import license or item not meeting the standard.........OR were they caused by lack of maintenance/inspection? Does the law have anything to say about previously installed items or maintenance or ongoing inspections?

Think you could handle installing propulsion systems into submersible conveyances?

They're just updating records to ensure all are FATCAT/CRS compliant. All the foreigners are getting texted. I got the same message, went to the bank to deposit my tax refund, and then tried to fill out the forms. Teller knew nothing, manager on duty knew nothing, told me to come back next day. I did not. A week later got another SMS telling me my records were in order and to disregard the previous SMS.

That's interesting............. This particular article appears in the googles twice. Once as printed in a New Zealand tabloid, the second as a sendmemoney campaign. https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/world/healthy-1-year-old-dies-hours-after-6-vaccines-parents-warn-these-shots-can-kill/ https://www.givesendgo.com/SaNiyaCarter oh, and some tinfoil underpants alien abduction site... https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/trending-news-segments/baby-tragically-dies-after-6-shots/

Has anyone tried to apply for a TIN other than the office responsible for the area where they reside? It's "common knowledge" that because we file in person at one specific location, then you may only apply for a TIN at that one specific location, however, that seems to apply only to juristic persons. According to the RD website, Nevertheless, if he is an individual, he may also file the application at any area revenue office or area revenue branch office, regardless of where he is domiciled. https://www.rd.go.th/english/21987.html

Discussion is based on events in Thailand, but encompasses the principle of free speech. You can wear a nazi outfit and march through the streets in the USA with police protection, as long as you don't commit violent acts. You can be arrested for yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, or for posting tweets calling for shooting the president, or threatening someone with violence.

It's up to the designer/producer/buyer to CHOOSE whether they desire to avoid controversy. But then it might encourage a conversation, and facts could be introduced. At that point, if the wearer can PROVE his slogan is factually correct, what then? It's evidently true, but some guy over there doesn't like it, and he'll chop your head off if you say it. On the other hand, that same guy can say what he likes about you and yours, and you better not complain, or he'll chop your head off.

Irrelevant. Provocative speech is still protected speech. Heck, if speech wasn't provocative or distasteful, it wouldn't need protection.
