It was the developer not the UK Government that demolished the building so take it up with them , once the building was sold they are responsible for all actions taken .

Yes but the UK govt should have made it clear that the building was to be retained. Once they got their money they did a runner !

Take a number, get in line ... anything metal will react to the detectors .... so put it in the bag.  

 

What is the purpose of your visit?

In Chiang Mai the former British Consulate building was retained in the design of a modern hotel (now called Anantara)

https://www.anantara.com/en/chiang-mai This old building adds a lot - is used for restaurant & bar.

 

Perhaps the Bangkok residence was too big or poorly sited to be fit for a new use.

The Bangkok residence was too valuable for any other use than destruction and redevelopment into a shopping mall extension and more unaffordable condominiums.

Everything "British" has been sold down the river. Indicative of a once great nation now turned to rubble. 

As Brits we should be ashamed of all the achievements made during our past...

The British embassy never did f... All for any of us. Soon the British "representatives" will be caged in a high rise office instead of the pleasant environment of Gardens at the Old British embassy.

What difference does the "pleasant garden environment" of the old Embassy make to anyone who doesn't live or work there, i.e. the public, compared to whatever the new one will look like, when the public never had access to it?

'The Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) has decided to recall the Award for Outstanding Conservation of Architectural Arts from the British Embassy in Bangkok for the demolition of the former embassy building.'

 

Hmm. So, having presented the award for the demolition of the building, they now want it back. Or did I misunderstand the text of the sentence?

Yes, you misunderstood it.  Badly.
