4th paragraph: "Located in the city's Banglamphu district, Thailand's Supreme Court ordered a partial demolition of the shopping center in 1997 when judges determined that seven of the 11 floors were built illegally."


But there were 4 legal floors, which is apparently what is there now. Why were those floors abandoned?


If most of the floors were illegal to the point that the entire structure was ordered to be demolished, it sounds like they must have been fairly dangerous. Would you really want to shop in a building where 60% of the floors are potentially structurally unsound?


Might have lost too much money from building and demolishing 11 levels?
