Bangkok Skyscraper Collapse Triggers Investigation After Earthquake

A 33-storey skyscraper under construction in Bangkok collapsed during a 7.7 magnitude earthquake centred in Myanmar, killing at least eight people and trapping dozens more. The building, part of a Chinese-Thai joint venture, was the only one in the city to collapse, prompting scrutiny of its construction and design. Thailand’s government has launched a rapid investigation, with concerns raised about structural flaws, low-quality materials, and the use of “flat slab” construction. The disaster, which has claimed over 1,600 lives in Myanmar, has raised broader questions about seismic safety in Thailand. Rescue efforts continue as families wait in agony for news.
