Public criticism has resurfaced online after e-commerce expert Pawoot Pongthepvitaya published photographs on his personal social media account depicting rainwater leaking and flooding areas inside the new parliamentary building following heavy downpours in Bangkok.
The images reveal water seeping down from ceilings and pooling across floors near the office areas designated for Members of Parliament (MPs), sparking renewed concerns over construction standards and the massive expenditure of public funds allocated for the mega-project.

The new parliament building, known as "Sappaya-Sapasathan" located along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok's Kiak Kai area, is a public construction project valued at tens of billions of baht that has faced years of severe delays. Lawmakers and staff have previously raised ongoing concerns regarding roof leaks and drainage issues during heavy storms. Incidents of this nature continue to highlight quality control challenges in major public infrastructure projects funded by taxpayers.
The construction contract for Sappaya-Sapasathan was originally initiated in 2013 across a 120-rai plot to serve as Thailand's legislative headquarters. However, the project has continually suffered setbacks and deadline extensions, culminating in the repeated leaks captured and shared in recent social media posts.
