They might have thought it would be just another demolition job on an old structure, the type of job they had done countless times before. It was clear that the contractor -- or the Forest Department that hired the contractor -- had from the outset absolutely no intention of keeping the heritage building. The 123-metre Banharn-Jamsai tower in Suphan Buri, which was always intended to be a landmark, remains the country's highest observation tower. Do we really need a sky-high observation tower in the middle of nowhere? Do we really need a skywalk to enjoy a sea of fog if we are already on top of a mountain?
