At least 3 buildings will have to be demolished: BMA


Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will today present demolition orders to the owners of CentralWorld, Centre One and the Siam Theatre. They will be required to submit plans to demolish the three buildings.

The BMA resolved yesterday that after the arson attacks by militant red-shirt protesters last week, CentralWorld's Zen Zone, Centre One and the Siam Theatre will need to be demolished due to irreparable structural damage.

BMA spokesman Thanom Onkatephol said yesterday that eight other buildings could be repaired after further BMA inspections, including the Maleenont and Narcotics Control Board buildings. And 11 buildings, mostly Bangkok Bank branches, could be restored without prior examination, he said.

Three buildings have not yet been checked by the BMA - Big C Rajdamri, a shophouse on the corner of Siam Square Sois 5-6 and a Krung Thai Bank branch in Chidlom. Six other buildings requiring damage checks include two Bangkok Bank branches, a K-bank warehouse, a conven-ience store at Din Daeng and a boat noodles restaurant at Victory Monument.

The 11 buildings that can be immediately fixed include the Chivathai building, a four-storey shophouse at Din Daeng, five Bangkok Bank branches, a GSB nank branch at Din Daeng, the Stock Exchange of Thailand building and K-bank's Ngam-Duplee branch.

The BMA will fix all damaged infra-structure within six months, while the governor will pro-mote the city in the US and Europe
