Step out from BTS Saladaeng and take an easy ten-minute stroll through the rhythm of Bangkok’s downtown. The streets hum softly with late-morning chatter, coffee aromas, and the shimmer of light on glass towers.

Police said three people - a female driver and two male bystanders - were injured on Friday morning when a crane pulled down power wires, causing seven poles to topple in Soi Saldaeng 2 in Bangkok's Bang Rak district.
