News Forum - MFP leader vows to tackle Bangkok’s traffic, flooding, and air pollution
Not even in office yet and he's promised to fix all that's ailing Thais and Thailand. Talks too much even though he's currently unable to do anything. Young, inexperienced, and arrogant. It'll be a miracle if he actually makes it into office as PM. -

Filling in land
Well we certainly have our work cut out for us with you ) You are challenging my concept of what is considered understood standard practices. Think of this like Legos. Underneath the Legos must be a flat plane so that the Legos are stackable or at least reasonably square. Try stacking a line of Legos on the dirt ground..any bump or ditch will cause the Lego blocks to shear off at strange angles. Now place the same Legos on your flat tabletop and observe how the line of Legos is at right angles to the table top. The same principle applies to foundations and walls of your proposed building. Without "digging the village dirt" we are limited by the surface's contours. Which is not in itself undoable, but that would be a different approach i'm not sure your builder would encourage. By digging down and creating a flat dirt plane we create a nice flat surface for our big concrete or masonry Legos to rest upon. This is a very simplified explanation for a complex subject. People obtain PHDs in Geotechnical Engineering etc. etc. It is really just a question of how far you want to dig in to the subject of soil mechanics and related areas. No pun intended. -
