On Tuesday, Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang was seen putting up a notice prohibiting the use of the 25-storey building, with a 30,000-baht daily fine. The court found the 25-storey hotel was unlawfully built because the road outside was too narrow for a hotel of that size, according to the city's construction ordinance. Just as the BMA is busy with the demolition plan, another high-rise project, with the same problem, is under way. I called the project operator only to find out the project has not yet been approved and the survey is a part of an environmental impact study report. I wonder how a 25-storey building on a plot of slightly over one rai could be approved.
