Didnt feel a thing here in Mae Lao. My wife sells land and homes around the area and many times customers come to look and are scared because of the earthquakes, so they look at land 5 klms from Mae Lao as they think the quakes dont go that far

.

Can't feel anything below a 3.5 usually. It's been at least a year since I have felt anything here.
