edit: snap!

Very weak here in Phayao. I didn't feel anything but a colleague sitting across the table from me felt one small jolt followed by a little shaking.

Thais are on top of it now.

Felt it strongly on 4th floor of my building at Rincome Junction. Caused the power lines to swing and a minor storm in the neighbour's swimming pool.

Woha I still feel dizzy, 6.1 not bad...

Darn.... I was doing yoga and thought I had a break thru and was emitting large waves of healing energy. Seriously !!! I live on the 14th floor of Hillside 4 and didn't know it was an earthquake but did feel dizzy and disoriented.

5.9 on the richter scale, centered in Laos, details here:

Darn it, nothing ever happens in Isaan....

THis is a bit strange, when i take the location from the http://www.tmd.go.th/en/earthquake_report.php site then it places it inside Thailand in Chiang Rai, here: http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googl...p;setLatLon=Set

But other sources have it well inside Laos.

Incredible how far away the center is and how much I felt it. I think this is the first quake I felt with a side-to-side motion instead of up-down. If you know what I mean.

The earth moved for me, too ! It was a group thang !

WOW that was wierd, thought i was just dizzy, then my girlfriend said "The beds moving about!" I live next to the night safari near hangdong.

For the sake of unity, theres a main thread about it that can be found here
