PATTAYA — A four-story building toppled uncontrollably Thursday afternoon near Pattaya's Walking Street.
The building, located behind the Marine Plaza Hotel, was slated for demolition when it suddenly went down like a house of cards at 12:30pm. No one was injured.
Two shops were damaged and three utility poles crushed.
Witnesses said the company responsible for the demolition, Surasak Antique Pattaya, was hitting the building with a backhoe before it was collapsed. Police said they were looking to speak to the company as part of their investigation.
