March 30, 2025Mar 30 Im coming to bkk next week. My hotel is close to the C markets area where that building collapsed due to the After Shock of the Earthquake. Obviously no one knows if there will be another aftershock. Im a bit paranoid about staying there but maybe I should stop smoking the green stuff. Thoughts?

Obviously no one knows if there will be another aftershock. Im a bit paranoid about staying there but maybe I should stop smoking the green stuff. Thoughts? The building under construction that collapsed did not collapse due to the 'after-shock' it collapsed due to the Earthquake. No completed structures collapsed. This earthquake was as bad as it can get in Thailand.... The previous largest quake on the same plate boundary was in 1912 with a 7.9 Mw Richter Scale. The largest quake to epicentre in Thailand is 6.1 Mw in Chiang Rai. With regards to 'further after-shocks'... this is unlikely on a large scale as this fault / plate boundary already released a significant amount of energy / stress. In short - the only thing to worry about is the excessive traffic in that area as they'll still be 'clearing the debris' so I imagine there will be a lot of lorry traffic.

Not small ones and the last one was a couple of hours ago. None of them have been felt in Bangkok and who knows if they're being felt in Burma or not. Anyway, I don't think the location within Bangkok makes any difference. Risk is purely based on the construction of the building.
