Overview

• The collapse carved a roughly 30m-by-30m crater about 50m deep on Samsen Road in the Dusit district.
• Bangkok’s governor reported no injuries, with three vehicles damaged as the hole expanded up to the Samsen police station.
• Vajira Hospital suspended outpatient services for two days and authorities evacuated patients, residents and the police station as a precaution.
• Power and water were cut after utility poles and a major pipe were torn down, and traffic was closed between the Vajira and Sanghi intersections.
• City agencies and the state MRT authority are stabilizing the site and investigating causes, with officials citing tunneling work, a suspected pipe leak and recent heavy rain as likely factors.
