So far, 12 workers have been rescued and are receiving care at nearby hospitals. A makeshift centre now teems with anxious family members, clinging to hope. Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul arrived at the scene, sharing the bleak news of the rising death toll. The families' anxiety is palpable, with people travelling from across Thailand to search for loved ones. Despite the devastation, there's a unified hope for more survivors. Among the desperate, a woman persistently calls her husband, a foreman. His phone lies silent amid the rubble. Tears and anguish frame her face, yet she dials on, unwilling to accept the worst. Another shares her story as she frantically seeks her parents. Both electricians, they worked across the tall building. She awaits their return, hoping beyond hope that they are safe, hidden among the debris. The incident has sent a wave of sorrow and fear through the community. Families watch the rescue efforts unfold, hoping the nightmare will end with loved ones safe. The air is thick with anticipation, each passing hour testing their patience and resolve.

(AP Photo/Chutima Lalit) Bangkok is reeling after a magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Myanmar shook Thailand's capital. The extreme seismic activity has forced the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to declare a Level 2 disaster zone. This comes as tremors were felt all across North and Central regions, leading to significant damage, especially in Bangkok. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt highlighted the critical situation, urging residents to brace for possible aftershocks. With tremors felt as far as Mae Hong Son province, a rapid response from authorities is underway as they assess damage and prepare to assist citizens. The announcement stressed that public safety is a top priority, in accordance with the 2007 Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Act. As the city grapples with the quake's aftermath, a tragedy unfolded in Chatuchak district. A building under construction collapsed, trapping 43 workers. Reports from the Narenthorn Emergency Medical Services Centre reveal a tense rescue operation is ongoing, though seven workers have managed to escape unscathed. This collapsed structure was part of an “Integrity Pact” project, aimed at ensuring transparency alongside the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand and the State Audit Office of Thailand. While the project had initially been celebrated for its cost savings – approximately 386.15 million baht from the original 2.52 billion baht construction price – it now faces scrutiny amid the disaster. As Bangkok remains on high alert, communities are advised to stay informed on developments and heed official guidance. Based on a report by The Nation -- 2025-03-29 -
