agree most part but there are shortcuts done every day you can not just apply structural integrity to buildings alone its on the whole of the construction industry, cranes falling of bulidings, flyover beams collapsing, mining caves collapsing, pit holes in the road due to no compaction, guys falling of roof due to no safety harnes The aduit bulding was way behind schedule so what you are saying that there was no shortcuts taken which i doubt knowing this contractor, I am not thai bashing but the thai construction industry as a whole need integrity but untill corution if fixed it will not happen

Thailands building standards are not in question same as thailands quality and safety standards they have a plethora of procedure but what is in question is the implemetation and enforcement of these standards the all might baht will get you approval for a design good or bad stafety standards not implemeted have seen many thai workers on site with fip flop no work boot seen welds no face mask just close there eyes welding we all know the reason safety cost tooooo much money asian lives are cheap building standards are by passed every day to keep the money in the bosses pocket oh we will put a bit less concrete in the mix who will know , I did have the unforgettable experience of being a quality Manager overseeing a project and Italian-Thai Development Corporation being the contractor well it was a wake up call never seen such bad quality of workmanship no pride in what they were doing, workmen Thais and Farang. no dought there are a small few who are decient contractors in Thailnd but the call of the all might baht is the problem

You are correct 100% Thailand BLOCKED these coutrys from seeing the Uyghurs so they can not do the relvent paperwork hang you head in shame thailand

Thailand in 2021 bought in design critera for building that the design was to be Eathquake proof But typically No enforement of the regulation and of course the baht will get you aproval

Dont need to Paint the whole industry as "in the dark ages" and "corrupt" because it is. Proof look around you or do you have blinkers on !!

Since 21 the Thai building code requires that new Building design is to be earthquake proof But there is again NO enforcement and the Baht will buy you approval as can be seen by that building collapsed. you are correct Thailand is certainly not earthquake prepared, people were trying to get out of the city but no buses no trains no mrt taxi fares trippled being rip off this was the goverment emergency declaration to strand people

Thai constuction at its best !!

Spot on !

I think we can guess the cost saving !!

And you do !! I very much doubt it !! Thai construction is very much in the dark ages No qualiy in construction, No safety, Coruption ! workers on site in flip flops and you are saying thats ok !! go get a life !

This building was built by Chinese construction company .. Guess who was their Thai Nominee..... Thaskin

Five uyghurs are serving 6-year prison terms at Klong Prem Prison, a maximum-security prison, but Human Rights Watch senior Thai researcher Sunai Phasuk warns the forced deportation to China could happen sooner than later as their prison terms could be reduced due to good conduct and on special royal occasions. the Thai government has also refused to allow related UN agencies to meet with the five in order to start the asylum process, thus making it difficult, if not impossible for Western embassies to help these people this is the Thai Chamber of Commerce (TCC) stepped up to insist that the nation has long been a proponent of international human rights standards.

Well you can say that building did not meet thai building code !! must be big coruption gone on ! but this will be the last you hear of it "Swept under the rug"

Well if they did not ask for help in a rescue a football team would be dead !!

Just heard in bangkok people cannot get home no buses no trains no mrt taxi fares have tripled this is the thai goverment emergency resopnse strand people !!!

Already said that in a earlier post, the baht can get you anything !!!

more than one construction project collapsed, and since 21 it has been a requirement buildings are to be earthquake-proof building design Currently, developers are forced to design and build quake-proof structures, but the country lacks follow-up campaigns to check on the state of buildings. typical Thai !! no enforcement

read my above post more than one construction project collapsed

The power of mother nature !!!!

Nobody cares, Asian lives are cheap !! safety is tooooooo expensive
