Over 25,000 dead I’m sure many are entombed in the rubble horrific I can’t imagine how horrible it must be to be there

This is so sad ????

The better constructed building as still standing ...

Seems the govt's enforcement, or lack of, building codes, has let the people down.

I'm not sure of the fault line situation in Thailand, however, that could easily be what the aftermath would look like.....

If you've experienced a 7.0 quake in person, it's something you don't want to see again....

From the brick and mortar construction, to the rebar & cement framed condos + cement power poles & high rise thinly rooted water towers....Let alone the minimal road construction & earth dams that have dried out do to droughts....

Not a pretty picture....
