On 28 March 2025, a building under construction which was intended for the State Audit Office collapsed in Bangkok, Thailand, following a devastating earthquake that occurred in Myanmar. It resulted in 96 deaths and 9 injuries. Already topped-out, the building was 30% complete and, at the time of collapse, undergoing piping and glass wall installation. The skyscraper was the only building in Thailand that was collapsed by the earthquake, and the collapse was one of the deadliest single instances of structural failure in Thailand's history.
