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."**
