RE: Earthquake Rattles Chiang Mai

Aftershock could be followed : Smith

Disaster Centre warned on Wednesday that after shock could follow the powerful earthquake that hit Laos and was felt in Bangkok.


The centre's advisor, Smith Thammasarot said that the quake was quite powerful and it may have after shock.

"I wish to warn that people should be careful as there could possibly be after shock following the earthquake," said Smith who was a former weather department chief.

Bangkok experienced tremors from earthquake that hit Laos and Thai-Burma border on Wednesday, sending many people running in panic out of many tall buildings in downtown areas.

Report from the US Geological Survey said that the earthquake, at about 6.1 Richer, struck western Laos near the border with Thailand and also along Thai-Burma border at about 3.57pm.

Many people in many small buildings in Sathorn, Silom, Sukhumwit, Phayatai and Vipavadi areas also felt the tremors. They reported building shaking.

The US survey said the quake was recorded at a depth of 33 kilometres in a region that is also close to the borders with China and Burma.

Hi T1, I did not feel it over here (Pantip Plaza), Bangkok at that time.

What is the magnitude? I remember many years back when I was in Chiang Mai I was actually rocked from my bed from a quake and the temple on Doi Suthep had to be fixed then. Hope it is not that serious. Cool

Another way of telling how bad the situatuion is, is when I do not see any posting from you very soon Icon_mrgreen
