Bangkok Contractor Seeks to Block International School Project Over 57M Baht Debt
A Bangkok construction company owner has filed for suspension of building permits on a 57-million-baht international school project, alleging the client failed to pay installments and illegally brought in new contractors without proper auth
On July 27, Jenchanakorn Rueangsuwan, owner of a construction company, submitted a letter to the Public Works Office requesting suspension of building permits under the Building Control Act for an international school project valued at 57 million baht in Bangkok's Prawet District. Rueangsuwan claims he is the original constructor and holds all architectural and engineering rights and documentation for the project, which began in October 2018 under contract with Kids Campus International Limited.
According to Rueangsuwan, the client breached the contract by failing to pay installments and bringing in new contractors without proper transfer of plans and oversight, violating building control regulations. He states he never signed off on the transfer and that the project now lacks proper engineering supervision, creating structural safety risks. He has requested that authorities halt construction, freeze all building permits and licenses, and conduct an investigation until the legal dispute is resolved.
Rueangsuwan previously filed complaints with local police and a justice ministry mediation center, but the other party failed to appear. He has now escalated the case to the Anti-Corruption Division to pursue full legal remedies.
