Last year a large hole appeared in Theppraya road, and a baht bus drove straight into it. Would have made an excellent photo if I had had a camera with me, but I didn’t. Since then, I have always tried to remember to take a camera with me wherever I go; and since then there has, of course been little of excitement to photograph.

This morning I am sitting at the polo club helping them choose from my too extensive collection of polo photos for their web site, and I get a call from an excited Nik. There has been an extremely loud crash and it appears that the second floor at the View Talay site has decided to join the first floor without asking permission, and the result is a mess. He is off with his camera to capture the scene, whilst I am sat 40 minutes away looking at pictures of horses. Bugger.

Apparently they were pouring large quantities of concrete onto the second floor when everything collapsed, creating a lake of wet concrete and a tangle of metal. Nobody killed, unless there is someone under the concrete lake they haven’t missed yet.
