The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is expected to start tearing down the Aetas Hotel in Soi Ruamrudee in late February.

 

The demolition cost is estimated at about 200 million baht which will be reclaimed from the hotel, said Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang on Tuesday (Nov 7).

 

The city governor testified before the Central Administrative Court on Tuesday during which he told the court that the City Hall would go ahead with the Supreme Administrative Court’s order to strictly enforce the building control law – which is to dismantle the hotel building in Pathumwan district.

Late February. Auspiciously, during Chinese New Year.

Demolish this hotel...really?

Seeing as how Thailand' demolitions proceed...I doubt this is ever going to happen.

This hotel would need a professional demolition company to do this with any hope of some safety....

1) Make the hotel owners demolish the building safely and clean up the site starting in February, otherwise imprisonment of land owning individuals and/or company directors and forfeiture of land       title to BMA.

 

2) Otherwise pay the BMA immediately, for demolition (or forfeit land ownership to the BMA), subject to imprisonment of landowning individuals and/or company directors if not paid. 

 

 

BMA to demolish(?) building and reclaim costs from company? Pigs will fly!  The company and individuals will have flown the coop!

Correction. They will start tear it down next february, not be torn down. It will be finished in 2022.

Did they get planning permission???should they be held responsible or the government.So many times in Thailand the companies are held responsible for the civil servants errors.I cant see how a massive hotel can be built without the knowledge of local officials why was it not stopped in progress.
