Check out the orange stone paved walkway around the glass pavilion.

Wilas" leads an investigation into the work of laying orange stone slabs, revealing that there are still various damages, estimated at over 10 million baht, suggesting corruption, breach of contract, causing damage to the state. Mr. Wilas Chanpitak, former MP for Bangkok and former chairman of the House of Representatives' Committee on Corruption Prevention and Suppression, led the media to inspect the walkway paved with orange Wichita stones around the Glass Pavilion. There was no cement base supporting more than half of the Wichita stones. The Wichita stones are 60 cm. wide by 60 cm. wide, but more than 20 cm. of wooden chopsticks can be inserted under the Wichita stones. Mr. Wilas said that the work of laying the stone slabs was based solely on beauty, but not safety. If there was a state ceremony or any other ceremony of the parliament that required this location and many guests, walking or standing on the stone slabs might cause the stone slabs to be unable to support the weight and break, which could cause accidents, injuries, or losses. This is because the slabs were laid to cover half of the drainage gutter and the other half was laid into the area of ??the glass pavilion, which he would enter to compete for the Noble Prize in the category of wonders of the world. Mr. Wilas also brought a 20 cm long chopstick to insert under the stone slabs with his hand to show. The slabs were laid from the walkway into the glass pavilion on both the left and right sides, as well as around the glass pavilion. Mr. Wilas also mentioned the breach of contract, which the contract specified that teak wood to be used as floor boards must be kiln-dried wood with a moisture content of 16 percent, meaning it must be kiln-dried wood and must be coated with wood oil to protect the wood so that when laid, there will be gaps between the boards no more than 2 millimeters. However, what was seen in the entire pavilion floor, which was made of teak wood, had shrunk, indicating that the wood was not kiln-dried, and there were too many gaps between the boards. Both the pavilion and the wooden floors surrounding the building on the ground floor were different from the wooden floor laid before entering the parliament meeting room on the 2nd floor, which was up to standard according to the contract. Mr. Wilas also said that at the same time, there was still work being done after the Secretary-General of the House of Representatives signed the acceptance of the completed building. This is a solution to the problem of being too hasty when, in the case of rain, the connecting path between the buildings would be splashed with rainwater and would overflow into the building. In the area of ??the press conference hall near the Sala Kaew, they used the method of building bricks and cement for a length of more than 2 meters with rubber seals to prevent water from entering. They also permanently locked the door to prohibit the use of the door. And it wasn't just this point, there were also 10 doors on other floors. He filed a complaint with the Nationa l Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) before the Secretary-General signed the acceptance of 100 percent of the construction work, totaling 36 cases, to investigate any potential corruption, breach of contract, or damage to the state. He also filed another 20 cases for investigation after the signing of the 100 percent acceptance of the work. It is expected that there will be other cases that have been found with damages estimated to be worth more than 10 million baht, at least 10 cases. Source: Thai News Agency
