Construction has been halted on a downtown mixed-use mega-project after three construction workers were killed there.
Police were questioning witnesses today after the bodies of three workers were recovered from the wreckage of several collapsed levels. Four others were injured, according to Col. Nimit Noophonthong of Lumphini Police. All were Thai nationals, Nimit said.
