Sure A Not

In connection with the decline of the 2.1 billion-baht State Audit Office building in Bangkok, which was caused by the 7.7-magnitude disaster in northern Myanmar on March 28, the Criminal Court on Thursday approved arrest warrants for 17 people, including building billionaire Premchai Karnasuta. &nbsp,

Premchai, 71, the 71-year-old executive director of Italian-Thai Development Plc, and the other 16 defendants are accused of professional negligence causing death under parts 227 and 238 of the Criminal Code. &nbsp,

Engineers, supervisors, and contractors from three organizations: those in charge of the ITD-CREC joint venture ( Italian-Thai Development Plc and China Railway No. 1 ), design firms ( Forum Architect, Meinhardt Thailand ), and construction supervision firms. 10 Thailand ).

The property’s design, according to police investigators, had fundamental flaws in the primary lift shaft and subpar concrete and steel, which were in violation of safety standards. &nbsp,

92 people died, nine were injured, and four were missing as a result of the 30-storey building’s decline. &nbsp,

The research team, led by Pol Maj Gen Somkhuan Phuengsap, deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, requested permission from the Criminal Court on Tuesday to make the arrest of the 17 defendants.

In February 2018, the Supreme Court sentenced Premchai to a three-year and two-month prison word for shooting in the Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary.

After a person who had been hiding in a house of relatives since Thursday morning, he constantly shot his weapon skywards and was trying to get him to surrender in Bangkok Noi district on Thursday evening.

Police officials tried valiantly to persuade Tay Watyang, 31, to turn himself in from the night until about 6 p.m. As he hid in a two-story residence on Soi Wat Lakhon Tham in Bangkok Noi, the man claimed to have a pistol, a weapon, and an improvised explosive system.

Local residents reported to the police that the drug-addict and smuggler had attempted to break into their homes at 7am.

At 8o’clock in the morning, he suddenly broke into his family’s home and shot back at him in the skyward. Four of the family members were present, and they eventually were released. He even shot at the scene’s approaching officers, but no one was hurt.

His spouse Sommut claimed to police that the man lost power because he was abusing the drug unrestrained. Before he used the weapon on Thursday night, they had fought for four weeks.

His parents, 68, claimed that Mr. Nathawat had two children and frequently quarreled with his wife after using drugs.

Commandoes were on hand at the picture as senior officers officials made an effort to calm him down. He continued to refuse to turn himself in at 6o’clock. Police intended to have his mom assist in the negotiations with his child.

Authorities in Pattaya have detained a seller associated with an online gambling syndicate who allegedly received illegal funds from the abbot of Wat Rai Khing and later admitted guilt to the police.

The abbot, Phra Dhammawachiranuwat ( Yaem Kittindharo ), was escorted on Thursday by his lawyer and supporters to the Bangkok Anti-Corruption Division.

Investigators discovered temple funds that were transferred to the abbot’s personal profile and then to Aranyawan Wangthapan, who was being taken from Pattaya to the Central Investigation Bureau for questioning.

The 28-year-old agent was recently detained last year for allegedly working with the Lagalaxy911 gambling website, and he was eventually released on bail.

She is currently facing costs of supporting criminal offenses, including wrongdoing and larceny.

The abbot, age 70, will be defrocked following legitimate procedures, with continuing questioning.

What are the main conclusions from the 2025 Bangkok Post Knowledge Forum?

Researchers gathered to discuss how Bangkok you better know and prepare for the geological risks it faces at the Bangkok Post Knowledge Forum 2025, which took place on Thursday at Chulalongkorn University.

 ,  , the website featured insights from leading voices in engineering, industrial advancement, and communication.

• The AIT’s Structural Engineering Program is led by Pennung Warnitchai, AIT Chair.
• Thailand Structural Engineers Association ( TSEA ), President Amorn Pimanmas
• Alongkorn Parivudhiphongs, Deputy Dean of Research and International Affairs at Chulalongkorn University’s University of Communication Art, is Chulalongkorn University’s assistant professor of study and foreign affairs.
• Sansiri Plc’s Chief Strategy Officer Poomipak Julmanichoti. &nbsp,

Together, they provided a multi-dimensional view of the city’s geological risks and what must be done before the next earthquake strikes.

Bangkok experienced the earthquake, but why?

• Although the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck northern Myanmar on March 28 was far away from Thailand, Bangkok is also affected by its impact.

• Long-period floor movement, which travels great distances, swept over the city and swayed tall buildings.

• These long-period waves, especially those constructed on smooth ground, are strong enough to cause high-rise structures to vibrate, intensifying the quivering.

Strong shaking in gentle land

• The soft-soil valley that surrounds Bangkok.

• This dirt increases seismic waves by up to four times, causing stronger tremors than in local provinces with harder surface.

• The phenomenon primarily affects large buildings because their swaying frequency aligns with long-period waves in their natural way.

How do houses react?

• Large buildings in Bangkok are constructed to move while never breaking during tremors.

• Current engineering includes:

• Accommodating bones

• Reinforced practical core

• Fluid-viscous valves and energy-absorption devices, such as

• Controlled swaying is a security function, not a defect.

Building standards and geological districts in Bangkok

• Geological style standards were developed in 2007 and updated in 2021.

• Based on disaster risk, Bangkok is divided into 10 regions.

• New buildings must adhere to stringent standards in order to withstand geological troops.

• Although not all of the older houses are required to be retrofitted, some are being reviewed.

Assessment results: Generally healthy, with some exceptions

• Authorities inspected almost 500 houses following the earthquake.

• Most institutions were intact, but only a few managed to break through.

• In Bangkok’s Chatuchak district, a brand-new, under construction State Audit Office ( SAO ) building completely collapsed, bringing up issues with design and construction oversight.

True danger, but tolerable.

What facts if residents and developers be aware of?

• Building level alone does not guarantee safety; engineering excellence is essential.

• Also in the event of remote earthquakes, well-built high-rises remain secure.

• Long-period waves are less harmful to low-rise properties, but they should still adhere to strict fundamental guidelines.

Advice for a stronger sense of endurance

• Improve open knowledge of building sway’s mechanisms.

• Ensure greater control of building websites, especially for finished structures.

• As technology and data develop, keep updating geological standards. Encourage the installation of damping networks in important buildings and equipment.

Don’t wait for the upcoming earthquake.

• Although they are uncommon in Bangkok, they are also a possibility.

• The most recent tremor was a wake-up contact: the city may remain organized.

• Experts urge continued consideration of geological health, not just when the ground shakes.
