Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has confirmed that there are no signs of life beneath the rubble of the State Audit Office building in Chatuchak, which collapsed following the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28.

“When we were trying to rescue survivors, it was like a sprint. Now, the operation must continue steadily, like a marathon,” Chadchart said, according to The Nation.

The rescue efforts have now entered their 10th day, transitioning from emergency search-and-rescue to debris removal. The debris field has been divided into four zones — A, B, C, and D — to improve coordination of the ongoing search and recovery operations.

Heavy machinery is now being used to lift large concrete slabs, with equipment entering both through the main entrance and via the State Railway land next to the site. This has allowed responders to access the top layers of rubble and begin gradually clearing the remains of the collapsed structure.

Thai authorities earlier reported that the death toll from the earthquake had risen to 24. Of these, 17 people were confirmed dead in the collapse of the high-rise building in Bangkok, which was still under construction at the time of the disaster. 77 individuals remain missing.

Let me know if you’d like a condensed version for social media or a timeline breakdown.
