(Photo by Piyarach Chongcharoen)KANCHANABURI: A local school that was founded 48 years ago will have to be relocated because it could be swallowed at any time by two growing sinkholes. A building used by secondary school students was ruled unsafe and they have been moved to a public pavilion at a local village. Two primary school buildings remain open as the survey found they were safe enough for the time being. It was earlier reported that the school stood on perforated limestone and an underground waterway was gouging holes through the substrata. Creeping cracks from the sinkholes have already damaged eight buildings at the school, including teachers' residences and a solar power building.
