  1. 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
  2. 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 !!
  3. 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
  4. I think we can guess the cost saving !!
  5. 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 !
  6. This building was built by Chinese construction company .. Guess who was their Thai Nominee..... Thaskin
  7. 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.
  8. 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"
  9. Well if they did not ask for help in a rescue a football team would be dead !!
  10. 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 !!!
  11. Already said that in a earlier post, the baht can get you anything !!!
  12. 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
  13. read my above post more than one construction project collapsed
  14. read the news i'm not your secretary !! and if you read the news on here you will see more than one construction has collapsed
  15. Its all well a good posting a vid but a bit of description would be good of what when and where
  16. Bangkok is situated in the Chao Phraya River delta, an extensive swampland
  17. Read the news, iam talking about Thai construction meaning bulding, roads, bridges ect Thai consruction is in the dark ages !!
  18. Nobody cares, Asian lives are cheap !! safety is tooooooo expensive
  19. The word is international human rights standards. the UN Human Rights Council, which thailand has a seat is in the EU and have a right to put their nose in other countries business.
  20. Thai Constuction !! there is No quality or safety in Thai construction no standards in design design approval by coruption so what do you expect !!
  21. What you are saying it for normal concrete strength which is 17 to 28 mpa, higher strength concrete can take longer depending on the design mix and without the specifications on the building which would give the concrete design mix its anybodys guess, and thats where the money is saved and pocketed a "normal mix" ratio is 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 4 parts aggregate, less cement more sand more profit you still get the building but !! the safety and quality is gone
