The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) yesterday began demolishing what remains of Bang Lamphu department store in Phra Nakhon district. The move is a rare victory in City Hall's fight against unsafe buildings in the capital.
Wasant Boonmuenwai, director of Phra Nakhon District Office said the demolition, which will be paid for by the developer and take eight months to complete, is part of a plan to improve the area's landscape and enhance building safety.
