No danger for Thailand - a long way off.

Here's the BBC report:

An earthquake of magnitude 7.1 has struck off the west coast of Japan's largest island, Honshu.

The quake was felt as far away as Tokyo, but so far no casualties or damage have been reported.

The authorities have issued a tsunami warning for the Ishikawa prefecture, with waves of up to 50cm reported.

The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 0944 (0044 GMT) was 300km (200 miles) north-west of Tokyo, the country's meteorological agency said.

The focus of the tremor was at a depth of 50km (30 miles) below the seabed off the Noto Peninsula facing the Japan Sea, the agency said.

Earthquakes are common in Japan, one of the world's most seismically active areas.

In October 2004, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 struck the Niigata region in northern Japan, killing 65 people and injuring more than 3,000.

In 1995 a magnitude 7.2 tremor killed more than 6,400 people in the city of Kobe.

<deleted> has this got to do with Phuket?

A tsunami of 6 inch did hit the coast of Japan…NOT Thailand

Absolutely nothing since Phuket is on the Andaman Sea/Indian Ocean side and Japan is in the Pacific no tsunami there could possible ever affect Phuket
