The cranes have been still for a while , and there seems to be little activity on the site at the moment , at least on the phetkasem side of the site.

Does anybody know if the the project been halted , or run out of funds?

It's political, as you know.

i thought it was being built with private funds.

Fair enough. I've got no idea where my previous comment came from. Think I must have got on my "political horse" for a while.

Have a thought whose private funds have all gone overseas since the middle of September. I think that is Political!

I seem to remember after the last big crash and mis-management of the economy, lots of skyscapers were left unfinished in BKK and elsewhere.
The money runs away, things dry up.
It would/could happen anywhere, though.
Nevertheless, back to the OP's question, I've just asked my missus and she dosn't know. Mind you, there's a tunnel with a train somewhere in BKK, isn't there?

I can see the crane from my front garden & I have seen it looking busy (the local equivilent of working) several times in the last few days. The out-patients is already up & running, as I went there a few weeks back & after a 90 minute wait

I was seen by a doctor with pretty good English.
However, whether the change of bossman will affect the already fluid target completion date -- that's another question entirely!

Are you saying part of the NEW BUILDING IS OPEN?

Are you saying part of the NEW BUILDING IS OPEN?

Yes indeed. The tall, main building (on the right as you go down the soi beside the Commercial College) is not but the out-patients section (straight ahead) is. However, the doctor (only 1 at a time, I think) is only there when they feel like it -- which for me meant after 17.00 on a weekday evening. Not crowded, just inefficient -- hard to believe, I know!

I just had a cuppa outside & the cranes are moving right now, even on 'Chulalongkorn Day'!
Then again, I suppose working outside is better than staying at 'home' in one of the steel huts the workers live in -- right out of 'River Kwai', those places are!

If you mean Hua Hin hospital, I can see it from my place like Troopie, and construction seems to be progressing as slowly as it always has.
