Aekvarunyoo Amrapala, Assistant Secretary to the Governor of Bangkok, and BMA spokesperson revealed that the recent earthquake affected several buildings in the capital.

Of the 437 BMA-affiliated schools checked for any damage or impact, 70 were slightly affected, with issues such as cracks in building structures or columns, subsided elevators, falling ceiling plaster, fissures between buildings, broken tiles, as well as damage to staircases and teacher accommodation buildings.

He stated that engineers have inspected all 70 affected schools and confirmed that the structural integrity of the buildings is safe, with a 100% safety rating.

Aekvarunyoo also noted that only minor repairs are needed, which will not affect the buildings’ functionality. All schools can continue operations and resume classes as normal.
