Order to urgently demolish Samsen police station building after pillar breaks, raising safety concerns

Thai Post | Local Language | News | Oct. 6, 2025 | Critical Infrastructure Failure

Following the subsidence incident on Samsen Road near Vajira Hospital on September 24, 2025, a working group has ordered the urgent demolition of the Samsen Metropolitan Police Station building after cracks and soil slides caused one of its pillars to break, rendering the structure unsafe. The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) and the construction contractor for the Purple Line project are responsible for carrying out the demolition and remedial work.

The decision follows inspections by a group comprising engineering experts and representatives from various agencies, including the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the Department of Public Works. Immediate actions include moving vehicles from under the building by breaching the rear wall, partial demolition, reinforcing adjacent structures to prevent further soil sliding, and ongoing assessments of nearby buildings even if unaffected. Sand filling at the site will be postponed until the demolition is completed to ensure maximum safety.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn has been monitoring the repair efforts to restore the area quickly, with a focus on minimizing public impact. An investigative committee is gathering information to determine the cause of the soil subsidence, including inspections of underground areas. Continuous monitoring and updates on progress will be provided to the public during repair and demolition operations.
