Bangkok residents experienced tense moments today as the city felt the impact of a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake originating in Myanmar.
Office workers immediately took cover under desks, seeking safety amid the unexpected shaking.
A WeirdKaya reader currently in Bangkok shared firsthand footage showing employees hiding beneath office tables.
The quake was described as “even more intense than the last time I felt it in Jogja,” emphasizing the unusual severity felt even at a distance.
Another resident shared her experience with WeirdKaya, saying, “I feel like crying, earthquakes are very rare in Thailand. I’m still feeling anxious and my heart is uneasy. It felt like the whole building was going to collapse.”
Images and video clips circulating online revealed confusion and caution among city residents and workers, with groups gathering outside buildings shortly after the tremors subsided.
