It was so sad about the burning of Central World at Ratchaprasong in Bangkok. This is, or was, the biggest shopping mall in Thailand. This honour now goes back to Siam Paragon that was untouched during the rioting.
This is the middle section of Central World that has completely collapsed.
When I was there this afternoon, firefighters were still working on the fire.
Amazingly, the golden statue in front of Zen looks intact.

Some great shots there…My immediate thoughts looking at these pictures is why? How many young women from poor families in Red shirt areas worked in there? hundreds? thousands? Now the few baht they mananged to scrape together each month to support their families is no more, taken from them by the very people they supported throughout this nightmare.
