Pattaya, November 10 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : There was drama inside Soi 9 off Pattaya Beach Road on Tuesday Afternoon following reports of a partial building collapse. Rumors began to spread that part of the Central Festival Pattaya Beach had collapsed which was found to be incorrect. The 8 floor building was in fact opposite the Central Festival Building and was originally constructed as a hotel 20 years ago. The ground floor of the building was currently being used as a restaurant. Police, Fire Rescue and First Aid teams rushed to the scene and determined that a total of 4 people were injured, one was suffering from serious head injuries. Witnesses told Police that on Tuesday Morning, some of the concrete began to fall away from the building but no one thought anything of it. A full investigation by Police and local authorities will now take place.

I wonder how many other ageing buildings here in Pattaya are in a similar state of (dis)repair?
