An international school affected by demolition work at a building that partially collapsed last year in Bangkok’s Soi Sukhumvit 87 has reached an agreement with the demolition contractor. 

 

A tri-party talk between the school, the demolition company and the property owner was held at the Phra Khanong District Office on Wednesday.

 

It followed demolition work causing dust that affected the students – some of whom reportedly fell sick.

Pity a British-owned international school with a Scottish-themed name didn't concern itself with the impact on students and teachers when its management elected to start demolition and building work on the Sukhumvit-sited school it bought out, with students and staff still in situ.

@Jonmarleesco: If you are in fact referring to the school in question, you are completely wrong in almost every respect. This school is owned by a Taiwanese businessman and offers an American curriculum. The building next to it that is currently being demolished was formerly a car dealership and had no connection to the school. The Thai owners of that building and business (brothers who inherited it) hired another company to demolish it, and the proper safety procedures were not followed in doing so.

 

The school does not own the land on which the dealership stands, and it is unlikely that it will be purchasing it.
