More than 2 million baht’s worth of damage was caused after the roof collapsed at Cha Am temple on Wednesday (Dec 8).

 

The roof, which measures 4 meters wide and 30 meters long, collapsed shortly before 5pm.

 

The Disaster Prevention Officer of Cha-am City Municipality inspected the scene and found extensive damage to the wooden pavilion and monk’s cloister, with debris including tile fragments and roof beams scattered around the pavilion.

A tad late one could say.

Ahh the weight of sin ... 

Donations please.....   and we have a Xmas special on protective amulets.... (made out of genuine temple remnants)

Of course the original construction was done by the lowest bidder.  

Thank the gods that no one was killed

I've seen these small temples being built.  Usually, the job was given to a friend of the abbot, who may or may not have any knowledge of building at all, then he in turn hires local help who definitely has no knowledge of anything but being a day worker.  It's a wonder to me more temples haven't fell down and killed people.  

Alms for the church roof, anyone ???....

 

.... just saying....
