Amara Bangkok Hotel

On 1 April 2025, Beca (Thailand) Co., Ltd., as a structural engineer and Engineer of Record for the Amara Bangkok Hotel, conducted an inspection of the Amara Bangkok Building on Surawong Road. This inspection was requested by Amara Bangkok Hotel to undertake a rapid post-earthquake structural damage assessment following the earthquake on 28 March 2D25 that impacted Bangkok. Background Amara Bangkok Building on Surawong Road was designed to withstand vibrations caused by earthquakes in compliance with The Ministerial Building Regulations and The Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning: DPT Standard 1301-1302 for earthquake-resistant building design, which incorporated data from past recorded earthquakes in Thailand and neighboring countries. Impact of Earthquake on Structural Capacity The inspection was conducted of readily viewable structural elements only, with the focus on main structural members as well as structural components in parts of the building expected to experience earthquake forces based on structural analysis and design. Based on the results of our inspection after the earthquake of 28 March 2025, it is our opinion that the property has not sustained any visible structural damage that would diminish its structural capacity. This means that the building appears to be in an unchanged structural condition compared with before the earthquake.
