...i have the feeling, a painful feeling, that these construction accidents are common in thailand...two or three weeks ago we could read the death of another worker on a construction field in bkk, indeed

Another one....probably number 20 so far this year.....then we never hear of those mobile cranes that fall over daily almost.

Thailand and crane collapses seem to go together well

Considering the number of sites and the quality of workers I am surprised
