Military must set example

» First Army Region commander Kampanart Ruddith has two options. He can produce evidence backing up his claim that five Khon Kaen University students were paid by local politicians to flash the three-finger protest salute at a speech by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. Or he must apologise and clear the names of the accused activists.
Postbag: Aetas not only culprit

» Your Dec 3 report on the Aetas building is well put and you make the important point that this should be a warning for future developers. However, you fail to make another point which is whether or not this should lead to action against other offending buildings. I can think of several within a short distance of where I stay in Sukhumvit Soi 39 including one that is currently under construction. The sois around here are certainly less than 10m wide in places and there are several huge condos and apartment buildings. There is a very valid reason for the 10m rule. Small streets cannot cater for the large volumes of traffic created by these big residences. As an urban planner it annoys me to see the apparent disregard for the normal rules of development control.
