webfact Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 House falls after water level dropsThe NationANGTHONG: -- A house in Angthong has crumbled and fallen down, very likely because of a sudden change in water level in the Noi River, according to provincial disaster-prevention-and-mitigation chief Chatnarong Siriporn na Ratchasima.He said yesterday that the river's water level had gone down drastically and soil along the banks might not have been able to adjust."It had long been saturated with water," he said after inspecting the site where the house crumbled on Saturday.However, Chatnarong said he would still ask authorities to conduct an examination and help determine the exact cause of the collapse.-- The Nation 2013-12-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thait Spot Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Haha. Way too close. If you do that, you need pilings and not a couple of concrete sticks formed over a wire cage.

fakename Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yes, the water level dropped, absolutely nothing to do with building anywhere you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsujin Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Another half a story with no answers or conclusions. Investigative journalism is certainly not alive and well here lol "why" did the water level drop suddenly for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newatthis Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 "He said yesterday that the river's water level had gone down drastically" Time to declare Angthong a drought disaster area??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oztaurus Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Should we call the monks to exorcise the bad spirits whih caused this house to fall down - and prevent the same happening to those around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maingmoom Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I would say to close to the edge. Maybe it wasn't close to the edge and maybe 10 to 20 ft of land has been washed away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of engineering is mind boggling all over Thailand! But again.....Thais know how to do it better. Surprised we don't hear more buildings falling down everyday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Drunk Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I would say to close to the edge. Maybe it wasn't close to the edge and maybe 10 to 20 ft of land has been washed away.. You're being far too generous in your assumption. Building over klongs, drainage ditches and rivers here is natural occurrence. My question is... 'Why is this news?'
