Report Arrest Warrants Expected in State Audit Office Building Collapse Probe
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Authorities are poised to issue arrest warrants next week for three groups linked to the recent collapse of the State Audit Office’s under-construction building. The structure fell following the earthquake on March 28, prompting a comprehensive investigation led by the Metropolitan Police Bureau. Police Major General Noppasin Poolsawat, Deputy Chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, has stated that so far, 193 witnesses have been interviewed. These include officials from the State Audit Office (SAO), relatives of the injured, as well as contracted building designers, construction supervisors, and workers involved in the project. The thorough investigation has gathered various forms of evidence, ranging from witness statements to physical and circumstantial evidence. Key documentation, including terms of reference, design and supervision contracts, and construction materials like steel and concrete fragments, are under scrutiny. Focus has narrowed to three main groups: the design team from Forum Architect and Meinhardt (Thailand); the construction team associated with ITD-CREC, a collaboration of Italian-Thai Development and China Railway Number 10 (Thailand); and the construction supervision team of PKW, a joint venture including PN Synchronise, KP Consultants and Management, and W and Associates Consultants. The 30-storey building’s design has been reviewed by the Council of Engineers, the Engineering Institute of Thailand, and experts at Chulalongkorn University. These bodies are assessing compliance with architectural and engineering standards, construction principles, and ministerial regulations, with results anticipated next week. Investigators have gathered 315 pieces of material evidence, including steel and concrete samples, which have undergone initial analysis. Further findings are expected to bolster the case as final results are prepared for next week, setting the stage for forthcoming legal actions against those deemed responsible for the catastrophic failure.

Head down to the basement by the City Line train station - many exchange booths there that give much better rates than the bank booths in arrivals. -

Another Fox appointee and this one OMG
Trump is now seeming to play games with the 120-day interim appointment capability maybe just a series of 119-day appointments, so no US attorney for Wash DC ever has to be confirmed by the Senate. -

Does the world need a pope?
He split with Rome because the Pope would not annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Henry did not introduce any of the Protestant Reformers theology into the Church. -

What is the easiest / quickest way to get a visa for my wife to visit the UK
Translations essential for deeds/chanote/Thai marriage certificate. Housebook too with her name in it. If you have strong links to Thailand such as Yellow book, vehicles, Thai bank accounts, driving licences etc. then bombard them with everything. As above, a covering letter is needed too and I, personally consider it essential. It all needs to be scanned and uploaded via the VFS site. This is what I did each time (hence going for the 10 year visa this time). I bought a sanner and scanned and uploaded it myself. VFS offer a paid option if you want them to do the scanning and uploading. FWIW: I did same for a Canadian visa application in the last 6 months and that was sucssessful too. Now, we are working on USA visa for this summer - fingers crossed. -
