Parliament Restaurant Closes Following Ceiling Collapse
The restaurant located within Thailand's 'ten-billion-baht' parliament complex has suspended operations after a ceiling collapse and water leakage incident.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 14, 2026, the restaurant situated inside the Thai Parliament complex has been forced to close its doors. The closure follows a structural failure involving a ceiling collapse and reports of water leakage within the facility.
In response to the incident, the Secretary-General of the House of Representatives has formally requested that the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning conduct a thorough inspection of the building's structural integrity.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the maintenance and construction quality of the relatively new parliament complex, often referred to in local media as the 'ten-billion-baht' parliament. While the restaurant is currently inaccessible, the broader impact on public access to other areas of the complex remains to be seen.
Authorities have not yet provided a timeline for the reopening of the dining facility or a detailed explanation regarding the root cause of the structural failure. Those planning to visit the area for official business or tours should monitor official government announcements for updates on facility availability and safety assessments.
