If this is an example of her negotiation skills on the World stage "God help Thailand "

What a Muppet show this is !!!!!

You are misinterpreting the word "pardon " Thaksin was "pardoned"his sentence from 8 years to 1year

Utter Rubbish You are trying to justify killing people who it has been proven had no dealing in the drug trade ok !! go read what this guy did before you post rubbish

What a load pf crap !! Duterte and Thaksin should be lock away for life for the extrajudicial killings

What a joke this country is !! the Thai people should be embarrassed

Absolute rubbish Racist is characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, that what duel pricing is discrimination, Thailand IS A RACIST country

Alarmist post,! to try and apply modern day building codes to old building, Thailand knee jerk reaction, if this proffesor is saying to go back and bring the old buildings up to modern day codes this will cost multi billions baht? damaged as shown in pic's need to be repaired to todays codes colums not damage no need Typical Thai, After the fact !!

Thats a good laught !! Thais can hardly Drive !! and RTP are a joke !!

If you have a better idea please tell !! even if there are Physical barriers Thais will still try to get around, no idea about safety, just think of themselves

It all depends on the Design but as i said that buliding was completion of the structural shell, in april 2024 you will be waiting for a long time if you think you are going to wait for an investigation in thailand to be released

If you read my post i said Structure Completed, cladding, windows, interior fit out still to be completed when a building is "topped out," it signifies the completion of the structural shell, or the roof, but not the entire project; the building still requires finishing and interior work before it's fully completed

I just completed this quiz. My Score 0/100 My Time 83 seconds  

The structure was COMPLETED in april 2024, Its a blame game ! That what takes the time in any enquiry !

Will all be forgotten in the next couple of weeks, Fall guys have already been picked, china all covered

Total Sham ! just makes Thailand look ridiculous,

Ah! the Fall guys !!

Totally different soil/ground conditions, Bangkok is built on a swamp, Vancouver not

Assumptions ! you can not say oh its bad design! oh its the rebar ! their are several factors involved in this collapse, Design is a part of engineering and a factor in the collapse as is rebar, it failed the mass to weight ratio crucial for structural integrity, Cement is also a factor, no news on tests so far, addition of fly ash and slag as this again is a factor in structural integrity. there also is bad workmanship and of course the major factor Corruption

Without some sort of physical barriers this will continue, red green light they will keep on going

If you read the news you will see that the building was topped out which means it was structurally complete no more concrete pours in april 2024 the concrete was a year old max cured, looking at the photos there is one test i would do first off is concrete bonding test to ASTM lots of rebar bare no bonding to concrete

with out seeing the specs for the project do not know what type of steel was used !! was boron added ? just plain carbon steel ?? both types of steel are used in rebar and have diffrent propertys and different applications so its all assumptions ? there are many test yet to be done before you can say the rebar was unsuitable for the project or not

ah ok chinese !! worked for chinese before on joint venutre but never chinese standards !! the way chinese work is very old fashion they use wet straw bedding to cure concrete as an example do not like using excavators rather flood the job with men and shovels weird !!

British standard dought they would have been used ! I have been a Quality manager on many projects like this over the years Mech and Civil dont do electrical

What a joke !! who are they going to get to build this the chinese !!
