PHUKET: -- Residents of Phuket Town have raised concerns about the destruction of an abandoned 100-year-old building on Damrong Road in Talad Yai, which they say is of historic value to the island.

The Phuket Treasury Office yesterday confirmed that they are just clearing out the landscape and did not aim to destroy the building. 

“We are beautifying the landscape by clearing out old trees and the mess around the building under the governor’s policy of ‘Keep Phuket Clean by Our Hand and Heart’,” said Kasempoom Weerasamai of the Phuket Treasury Office.

Was a fine looking building and with a bit of money could look great again. I wonder who owns it ? and why they abandonned it ?

Yes nice looking house, but there is a large crack on the left side and the roof, probably more damage inside.
