It will more than likely just go into landfill or be dumped on the side of the road as is most rubbish in Thailand.

Then collected and used to construct a children's playground.

    One day while living on the Dark Side, I came out of my home office to see a "handyman" ascending the stairs from the kitchen to the main living room.  In his hands was my 200 Dollars Wusthof 12" inch

  • Are you 100% certain it contains asbestos? More likely to be 'Fiber Cement Board'.   https://www.google.com/search?sa=X&rlz=1C1CHBF_enTH838TH838&q=fibre+cement+board+image+thailand&a

  • Just seal the room and let Somchai hammer away. They spray Paraquat day in day out in the rural areas. Not a problem. Health/Safety are just two words that mean nothing.

I paid someone to remove what I think is asbestos. He took it to my neighbor's who has a big pile of it. He enjoys smashing it up and then trying to burn it. I don't speak enough Thai to tell him it is fireproof. Hope it is just cement.

My experience with removing Asbestos in the US was to use LOTS of water while working with it (keep it wet), wear a very good respirator/face mask, and throw away any clothing you were wearing while working with the material (or wear a Tyvek disposable suit).  Disposal involves putting in good quality trash bags and taking to the landfill (along with your clothes or Tyvek suit).  The water is very important as you don't want that stuff floating around your house. 

Hire somchai he don't know or doesn't care. And be sure to have them wash down the place afterwards.

 Wet the stuff well before removing saves fibers floating around in the Air.
