Thailand no stranger to deadly construction accidentspublished at 06:19 GMT
Deadly construction accidents are not uncommon in Thailand, due in part to poor enforcement of standards and regulations.
In 2023, a freight train collided with a pick-up truck that was crossing railway tracks in the country’s east, killing eight people and injuring four others.
Last year, a high-rise construction site in Bangkok collapsed after an earthquake, killing more than 100 people and drawing attention to long-standing flaws in the sector.
According to a study by the Workmen’s Compensation Fund in 2022, more than 4,500 workers were killed or injured in construction accidents the previous year.
