BANGKOK, (TNA) – Summer storms injured two people and damaged 14 houses in Phetchabun province and tore down a building that housed a big reclining Buddha image in Buri Ram.

 

Seksan Klinphun, chief of Lom Kao district in Phetchabun, said a storm slightly injured two people and damaged 14 houses and a stall in seven sub-districts. Local officials were surveying damage and would offer assistance to victims, he said.

 

In Buri Ram, a big storm hit Chalerm Prakiat district yesterday evening and toppled a building that housed a large reclining Buddha image at Wat Khao Angkarn. The dome-shaped building was constructed in 2019 with donations worth nearly 5 million baht.

Five million Baht to erect a shed-like structure less than 2 years ago?

I would be seriously looking in the direction of the builder and materials used.......

and the guys that 'authorised' this deal. 

5 million?

Wow!

 

to be honest, 5 mil baht is not that much in real money.
