“I don’t know what to say,” Anutin says after repeated ‘Rama 2 road crane collapses’, Calls for legal reform

On January 15, 2026, PM and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul gave an interview about the fall of a construction crane on the Rama 2 elevated road, which purportedly killed two people. He indicated that he received a report about an incident that morning but did not know the details. Anutin said while shaking his head., "I don't know what to say,"

When reporters asked if the contract would be reviewed due to the recurring nature of such incidents, Anutin responded that Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Piphat Ratchakitprakarn had called an urgent meeting and would then summon those involved to report on the details. Furthermore, he stated, "I've heard reports of a lot of blame being passed around. Perhaps the issue should be settled by legal procedures, as some agencies claim they lack authority, rather than commanding them to carry out in a specific way. We will need to hold a joint meeting and take the necessary action."
