Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
The BMA seems to be relying on some vaguely defined corps of volunteer "inspectors" to do their building structural surveying checks. I haven't seen any explanation or clarification of just what kind of qualifications, if any, they're requiring of those who are making those inspections and judgments about buildings. In the latest BMA public briefing provided tonight, the Thai government rep in English reported that only TWO residential buildings in BMA jurisdiction out of some 350 inspected thus far had been declared temporarily uninhabitable. ---------------------------- PS - I got a laugh out of your comment above, because in my neighborhood of BKK, the condo building handymen who do various repair and maintenance work often seem to be referred to as "engineers"! I certainly hope they're not the ones doing the structural building inspections, nor the BMA staff who do all kinds of other, unrelated "inspection" duties. Separately, the national government seems to be pushing extraordinarily hard right now to persuade everyone that everything is OK and nothing's really wrong in BKK... They've even launched a PR campaign for it, as follows: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16JLfMV2JM/ -

Is street food healthy in Thailand?
About a month ago, I was out with the Mrs. in Bangkok on one of our scooters, and the Mrs said she wanted some noodles. So we stopped, and she had a bowl. I wasn't hungry, so I was sitting. One of the two women at the stall was clearing away the tables as they were closing soon. She was wiping the tables and chairs with a cloth which, shall we say, didn't look very new. Then used the same cloth to dry the cutlery the other woman had just washed. The other day in town (Prachin Buri), I was sitting in the local big c food court at lunch time. Outside, there's a small stall selling those meatballs on sticks with the dipping sauce. From where I was seated I could see the stall from the rear. A young man and woman are working the stall. I just happened to look out the window and saw the young man sneeze near the uncooked meatballs. He then had a "sneezing fit" and sneezed a few times .H e wiped his nose with his hand, then carried on cooking and serving. I then told my Mrs and told her never to eat from that stall. He could have used the toilets in big c to clean his hands butno, just carried on. -
