Asiantravel Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) how amazing ! There are many Indians in this area and I would just be curious if this hotel is owned by Indians because they have a total disregard for complying with planning and building consent. Adding a few floors onto buildings in Bombay is a pretty standard occurrence and the local authority in Bombay doesn't even have the manpower there to keep up with all the infringements Edited July 30, 2013 by Asiantravel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a few floors onto buildings in Bombay is a pretty standard occurrence and the local authority in Bombay doesn't even have the manpower there to keep up with all the infringements as you have absolutely no clues if they are Indian , your comment is a bit "racist". Dont you think Thais can do the same ? or any nationality ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonneke breda Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The most amazing thing in my opinion is that they even could start the construction, which should be noticeable, and no city-official ever told them to stop. probably the tea-money wasn't paid in time so they told them to tear it down 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianatlarge Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Criticize bad stuff all you want, but don't make the mistake of assuming that it is all Thais or all Indians, or whatever, that do "bad stuff". Dumb/bad people do bad things for their own short term gain. Right now I read about a gas plant in the usa that just blow up, and not long ago that fertilizer plant in Texas. If you take a look around the world you will see many more egs of bad stuff, not just in Thailand and not just by Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonneke breda Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Does Soi VC run between Walking Street and Second Road? It's the big renovated place which stands in front of you when you leave walking street coming out of one of the small soi's. If you come from the Soi where Tony Short stay is.

The officials were exasperated at what they found: construction on a second Boutique Hotel building was still proceeding, despite repeated stop-work orders from city hall. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/654794-pattaya-threatens-demolition-of-illegally-expanded-boutique-hotel/ Edited July 30, 2013 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It doesn't matter who is responsible or whether tea money has or has not been paid but what is important is whether a structural engineer has designed the extensions . Three extra stories is a lot of extra strain on the building and if it collapses and people either inside the building or in the surrounding area are injured or killed, plus property damage , then good on the authorities for demanding demolition and i hope it becomes standard practice for all those building which are not structurally designed. Maybe it is because of tea money etc but it is still a good move towards public safety as i see it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That's a LOT of construction but there had been previous reports & they still continued on adding floors. Amazing Thailand is a correct ad line. Sure displays a total disregard for local authority regardless of where the owners are from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemoncake Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If you asked me, nothing but empty threats . How does one demolish extensions? Ie how to remove ONLY top floors?

pacovl46 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 One has to wonder if the foundations and the buildings itself were designed to cope with the additional load?! I remember this shopping mall in Korea collapsing because of the weight of the later installed and heavier air conditioning systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWideOpen Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Anybody who has been in Thailand for a while knows this building will NOT be demolished. This threat is simply the endplay in extracting the proper amount of money in a brown envelope.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbalEd Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Most likely the original buildings' foundations were not engineered to withstand the weight of the additionally-added floors/stories. Which means these buildings are now very much in danger of collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
