Boss, 25, would only work for a few days at the skyscraper • TV4 News on site
Over 70 people are still missing after the skyscraper in Bangkok fell into the quake.
TV4 News has met one of the relatives waiting for her relatives to be found in the masses.
– It went so fast. It was like a dream and it didn’t feel real. And I regret let him go and work that day, says Pairin Chumtork.
It has been almost five days since the earthquake in Myanmar, which also hit Thailand. Outside the racial masses in Bangkok, Pairin Chumtork has expected day and night on message – somewhere during the concrete grasp there is her boyfriend.
– Today it has been five days already. For three or maybe two days I had hope that he was alive to one hundred percent. But now I think it’s 50/50. Yesterday I thought he … I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to say that, says Pairin.
Would only work a few days in the skyscraper
She has lived in Sweden for a while, when her mother moved there. But it was here at home in Thailand she found her boyfriend Boss three years ago. He is 25 years old and had just started at the construction site when the quake occurred. He would only work in the skyscraper for four days.
– It went so fast. It was like a dream and it didn’t feel real. And I regret let him go and work that day, says Pairin.
Next to Pairin sits her friend-whose 17-year-old little sister was also buried under the concrete.
“I’m ready to accept it now”
The situation in Thailand has changed in recent days. A dozen has been found dead in the masses at the skyscraper and about ten have been taken alive. At the same time, you turn your eyes to neighboring Myanmar, where the earthquake had its epicenter.
There, 2,700 people are said to have died in the earthquake and just as in Bangkok, relatives at the masses await their loved ones to be found.
For Pairin, it is about reconciling what she fears.
– I’m ready to accept it now. If he comes back dead. But I wish I could talk to him. I want him to know that I really love him and that I’m waiting for him here. I miss him.
