BMA urges building owners to submit safety reports by Saturday

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has issued a warning to building owners in the capital, urging them to submit their inspection reports before the deadline on Saturday.

High-rise buildings from 23 metres in height and above
Large buildings with a total floor area of 10,000 square metres or more
Buildings capable of accommodating large numbers of people with a floor area of 1,000 square metres or more and a capacity of 500 people or more
