None of my many residences in Northern Europe have had any such provision (mainly because there is no excess space available in which to place them.

In what sense was the response zero? What should have been Eva hated, and to where??

So why are you telling us about it?

What country does provide such areas??

What are these circumstances, please?

Really?. It was a lot more than that last time I drove it . . . but that was done in kilometres! But maybe you were measuring it as the mosquito flies? Or maybe Chatachuk is not a misspelling of Chatuchack?

Would that be a “found nap” or a “discordant nap”??

What moved, to where?

Sure, I am — just like your adorable cat! But you seem to be mightily troubled?? . . . So sad!

Well: 1. As explained previously, there is no such concept as measuring the strength in the terms anywhere except at the source of the quake. 2. Any similar measurement in Bangkok will have a large range, since it varies wildly with location and£ type of ground/water at the measurement point.

Precisely, No, do not! This fact is not part of “the news”, it is simply a fact!

So this fault does not move very often — - March 28, 2025: magnitude of 7.7 Mw - January 1990: magnitude of 7.0 Mw - February 1912: magnitude of 7.9 Mw And only on this one occasion were there any problems 1500km distant from the epicentre.

What is? And what does any such report mean: this is a physical, scientific and precise fact, not the subject of a news report.

So it was only a feeling, was it! Not real?

Why would that be? And how/where was this measured in Bangkok?

How do we know the effective strength in Bangkok (since it probably varied hugely depending on the type of ground/Klong/river/etc. where it was measured!

What standards exist here for quake-proof constriction: Thailand, like Northern Europe “never has earthquakes” and therefore, in both locations, there are no such standards.

No, it is not as simple as that: it depends also on your total UK income and taxes paid, with the exact details of the necessary calculation being somewhat complex.

@Sophon has made here one of very few useful, complete and relevant contributions to this discussion. So please read him very carefully before deciding what to do.

I seem not to have any possibility of clicking on an emoticon! Why is this? How can I restore my emoticons?

Ranong or Rayong??

Do please can you tell,us the details of your allowances? Thank you!

No, it is not that simple: proportions etc. need to be calculated! Please read the DTA in detail for the necessary calculations.

Yes indeed! Very many thanks for this detailed description of reality. it is probably the only fact- and experience-based account in this whole enormous thread!

One of many thousands, no doubt!
