As investigators approach an area where some laborers were employed when the March 28 disasters struck, four more bodies had been discovered in the dust of the State Audit Office building in Bangkok.

The confirmed death toll has increased to 21, with 73 persons still unaccounted for, according to Bangkok lieutenant governor Tavida Kamolvej on Tuesday, according to Tavida Kamolvej. &nbsp,

During the powerful earthquake that was centred near Mandalay in Myanmar, the 30-floor empty building in the Chatuchak district pancaked&nbsp, magnificently to the floor. &nbsp,

When the building collapsed, the lieutenant governor claimed huge backhoes were operating in two of the enormous debris piles, where 20 to 30 workers were employed.

The majority of the personnel present were from Myanmar.

No additional highrise in the city has experienced significant damage. Studies have suggested that the construction of the building would employ sub-standard materials.
