The sudden crumbling of the 30-storey tower, which was under construction at the time of Friday's 7.7-magnitude quake, has killed at least 11 people and rescue workers are racing to find 76 others still trapped among the debris.
“I’m devastated... I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire life,“ 45-year-old Naruemol told AFP from a small shelter near the site, where a group of around 50 relatives await news.
Among the missing are Thais, Laotians, Cambodians and Myanmar nationals.
'We wait, we wait'
Around lunchtime, Tavida Kamolvej, the deputy governor of Bangkok, raised hopes over a noise or movement in the rubble that could be a survivor, but cautioned that the situation was still extremely unclear and they needed “a quiet moment” to work out its origin.
At least 18 people have been killed in Bangkok following the quake that struck near Mandalay early Friday afternoon, causing severe damage in central Myanmar in particular and killing more than 1,700 people across the country.
Naruemol said Kyi Than, a Myanmar national, was among a group of electricians -- including his son -- working on the 26th floor.
“If you can hear my voice, if you’re still alive, please shout and let the officials know,“ she said, calling out to Kyi Than.
“We wait. We wait. We will wait until (they are) found,“ she said.
