yes ... Thank you Ted, didn't you see my last post and a couple before that.

Russia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, Singapore & New Zealand and Australia are sending either search and rescue teams with specialised equipment and dogs or humanitarian aid like tents, medical supplies, food, water and other urgent necessities. The USA = nil

So how is the US going to help ? they talk bs ... help my ass !

I say give him a bucket of water, a sponge & soap, and make him clean it off every god damn power box in Pattaya. that's common sense.

BTS platform #2 if going south, Subs... usually just one ham & cheeze because cheaper, It's Thai because Bangkok made.

oh dear Georgealbert, that looks like a really bad crash, they just damn lucky no one was killed. they should slow down.

yes, I do ... and get cash every now and then

and that's what I said in an earlier post ... this is Thailand, and they will play the delay game.

TIT .... anything is possible, even if they are requested to rebuild it at their cost, they will just appeal, delay, not build, build a little .... and it'll drag on and on for years. and another possibility, is someone gets a nice fat envelope and they win the case and walk. and the corruption just goes around and around again .... Lol

rescue dogs were there today.

I was on site today and unfortunately looking at the debris and how it's landed it would be hard to survive that much concrete falling. very sad and tragic event indeed.

yes, I have read that Trump offered help, and the spokewoman for USAID has confirmed that it's funding has been completely cut as well as staff so .... as the USAID spokewoman said, staff drastically cut, how can you send aid if you have no one to organise it and make it happen. ? Trump = egg on his face ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- it now appears China and Russia have stepped up to the plate, Russia sending a 120 man rescue specialist group, China is sending humanitarian aid as we speak and Trump is still telling the USAID boss to work it all out even though they have little left to offer.

you should get that hearing checked and take your blinkers off.

yes, and we all know that $19m to Junta bosses and $1m for aid.

We don't hear of anyone helping Myanmar .... certainly not the USA, not Thailand, and not even China. Despicable thieving governments, the whole damn lot of them.

Very sad and tragic for Myanmar , they have to bear the brunt of the Junta military shooting the young in the streets daily and now this. What devastation they have suffered for the past 5 years since the murderous military took over. Very heartbreaking to see these images of destruction. God help Myanmar .....

Thank you Richard, now i know alot more about those Techtronic plates that moved.

Everyone here, stay safe and look after family & friends.

well, all my family are dead and most of my friends, so i don't really have anyone. it's just me left.

that's way too late for you old man.

at a wild guess, I would expect they have procedure's in place that require a full network inspection following an earthquake ...... don't you think that's a good and logical idea, or you just want a ride and not care.

Not a bad thing for any logical thinking country ..... but Thailand , that would show embarrassment or lose of face ( which I hate to call it as it's just another word for embarrassed or caught out )
