drummer Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I have an idea for you .... Get a glass of water, and set it down. watch it for 5 minutes (or videotape it, if you prefer) If you see ripples, its the city. If not, you might want to see a neurologist (NOT a psychologist - a neurologist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aughie Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Are you in a highrise near the river? If so don't worry about it the building is just settling into the mud. Any cracks on the walls? Is the carpark always wet? Termites? Edited July 4, 2005 by aughie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Back on topic. Have you lived in a hi-rise before, they do move quite a lot. When I lived in Seoul (on the 28th floor) our building shook quite often. We had one real earthquake (actually a very small tremor). After a lot of investigating (it was in 1995, just after the department store and Songsu bridge disasters) the culprit was determined to be .... the lift machinery. AFIK the tower is still there, and, I assume, still shaking. Don't worry about it, you'll get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigz Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Maybe one of those War of the Worlds machines is underneath ? I think Bangkok sits on some pretty strange soil; often when I am waiting at a bus stop you can feel the ground shake when a big truck goes by and some of the foot bridges seem to get pretty shaky at times too (and I dont drink!).

Richard Hall Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Finally made it to BKK, trying to find an apartment in an nice hi-rise......NOT.This city is shaking every 2 min!!! Am i crazy or anybody else feels that???? Relax, actually I think that shaking is quite common here in BKK. Live in a four story townhouse and we have got that shaking too. The ground is kind of soft because obviously there is something like a klong (canal) underneath. The next major road is about 300 - 400m away but you feel the shaking when in bed (no need for dirty thoughts and indecent comments ) or lying on the floor on our Isaan mat watching TV when heavy load trucks pass by. A few months ago Roger Crutchley doing the Postscipt in the Bangkok Post reported about a similar phenomen and actually also thought it was an earthquake but actually there was just some construction work nearby. As long as there are no cracks showing in the walls and/or the ceiling light is coming down just take it easy and feel the rhythm. One, two, clap your hands, shake... If things get more severe just panic and dive under the table. Further action in accordance to the further development of things. Cheers, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
