The Bangkok Governor updates on earthquake impact: Only the SAO building collapsed. Damage is limited to buildings under construction, with 169 reports of cracked buildings, but no structural damage.
Chadchart Sittipunt, the Governor of Bangkok, held a press conference regarding the earthquake situation in the Bangkok area. He stated that the damage caused by the earthquake mainly affected buildings under construction.
The most severely damaged building is the State Audit Office (SAO) building in the Chatuchak district, which is a 33-story structure under construction. The building has collapsed, trapping approximately 83 construction workers inside. Three fatalities have been reported, though several others have been rescued. This is likely the most significant damage reported so far.
The second point of concern is the crane used in the construction of a condominium in Din Daeng district. The crane struck the Din Daeng expressway, causing temporary road closures. However, traffic has now returned to normal.
Regarding bridges that had reports of broken cables, inspections revealed no cable breakage. While some bridges may have minor cracks, they are not in a critical condition that could lead to collapse.
