Mr. Wisanu Subsompol, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, told the associated Thai press that the under construction bridge appeared to have flipped over while significant traffic was in the area under the bridge construction. Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, or BMA, officials confirmed at least two deaths and right injuries but cautioned that this was not final as ongoing searches for people possibly trapped under the rubble were ongoing. #news Full story: https://thepattayanews.com/2023/07/10/under-construction-lat-krabang-overpass-bridge-in-bangkok-collapses-multiple-fatalities-and-injuries-reported/ -- © Copyright The Pattaya News 2023-07-10 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Bad things come in threes. No,that only comes after walking under a ladder while a black cat crosses your path and you drop the mirror you were carrying. Make sure you carry a sachet of salt to throw over your shoulder,just in case. Can’t be too careful … ???? 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 On my kids’ school bus route and my wife visited a nearby clinic just a few hours before. We are counting our lucky stars regarding the timing and condolences to the families of the dead and injured. Hoping for a thorough enquiry to prevent repitition but not holding my breath. School closed at least today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
