Popular Post webfact Posted July 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2022 Former Democrat MP Watchara Petthong is seeking answers from the office of the secretary-general of the House of Representatives about how it can accept the delivery of the 12 billion baht parliament building from its builder, Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction Public Company, despite its many defects. In raising the questions, Watchara showed some pictures of an exhibition hall on the ground floor of the building, taken on Friday evening when Bangkok was hit by heavy rain. He claimed that rain water had leaked through the roof onto the wooden flooring of the exhibition hall and several exhibition boards collapsed, forcing workers to mop the floors in several areas of parliament, including the exhibition hall. He claimed that the frames of two paintings had broken and two aluminium ceiling sheets, each about 1.5 m x 1.5 m in size, had collapsed during the storm. Fortunately, there was no one in the exhibition hall at the time, otherwise someone could have been hurt, he said. Watchara said he has asked the parliament compound’s security chief, Arun Laipongpaew, why the House secretariat had not reported these defects to the public and whether people who visit the exhibition hall will have to wear crash helmets for their safety.

I've yet to see a thai built building that didn't leak. Every house we have lived in had roof stains and every mall we visit has buckets on the floor. seems Thais cannot build roofs - not buildings 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Well, this is an easy one. Nobody anywhere ever inspects the finished work before final payment--whether it's new sidewalks in Pattaya or a parliament building in Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ezzra Posted July 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2022 He, as a Thai politician, should know better than to ask such a silly question, with such a mega project, someone/s got their pockets filled with stupid amount of cash to pass faulty plans and these are the results now... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suvarnbhum Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Sir, with all due respect, the weight of envelop was heavier than the pillars of the building, that tip the balance in favor of builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Somebody paid for the ranch, the private airport in Khao Yai, apart from letting him get away with ministerial government statements like "dirty farang" and "alien". Well, here the dirty farang - for once - cannot be blamed; not too sure about the "alien". You are hopefully aware that the same enterprise, pure co-incidentially of course, built the Suvannaphoum airport and during the co-owner's reign in the health ministry among the junta executives, got another little order inked for the extension of the airport worth anything between 50 - 60 billion (not million) Baht. Mysterious are the ways of the East - wonders never seize! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 They should look into why Sino- Thai was chosen. Anutin, the "Health Minister" was once the president. "He was the President of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction Public Co., Ltd during March 1995 – June 2004. He also served as the Director to the Federation of Thai Industries and Thai Contractors Association Under H.M. the King’s Patronage." https://icfp2022.org/team-member/mr-anutin-charnviakul/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
