Flying construction materials cause damage to homes

Poor construction in the nearby Nirand Grand Ville is causing safety problems for residents on Soi Arunothai.

At 4:30 PM on October 1st, parts of the Nirand Grand Ville on Soi Arunothai in Pattaya, Chonburi, collapsed causing damage to three houses in the back of the building.
Residents reported that scaffolding had fallen off the six storey building and had crashed through their roofs and into their houses. One of the residents also reported that loose scaffolding boards had fallen two or three times before this incident, shattering tiles on her roof. Currently, there is yet another loose piece of scaffolding approximately 50 metres long. If this should fall it would be a major disaster.
Residents have pleaded for the scaffolding to be taken down as it has been there for four years and the building project has not yet been finished. Residents feel fortunate that no-one has been injured yet.
The supervisors of the building project promised to repair damages to residents houses. The residents are also filing a complaint with police for damages of 50,000 baht.
