Just wondering what would have happened if I had been on my mocycle at the time. Anyone got any experience of riding on a mocycle in the middle of an earthquake?

Got to ride from Cm to Mae Sai on Monday!!!

There has been about 3 aftershocks that i have seen. Granted the other 2 have been small but enough to set the orchids swinging on the tree which I was sat under. I don't feel we need to fear a big one as my understanding is the fault line in Burma is not big enough to cause that. Also people saying they felt the Big one in Sumatra that cause the Tsunami on boxing day are wrong. Once agin my understanding is that that quake caused a big shock in Burma as the plates realigned, and that was the shock that was felt here. my last two points are only how I understand the situation and I will accept correction.

I think I was on my motorbike when this one hit and I didn't notice it at all. The same thing happened when I was driving my car in California many years ago and there was a moderate earthquake, I didn't know it had happened until I got out of the car and a friend asked if I felt the earthquake. Unless the ground is doing some serious moving the suspension system of your bike or car absorbs the motion and you don't notice a thing.

Thanks Bruce that's good to know.

First time I've been caught at the top of a tall building during a tremor - it's certainly more frightening than at ground level. On the 18 th floor of Royal Lanna it sure was swaying for a long time. A good attershock at 11 pm too.

So gald some can find it time to be funny and a Critic. Especially when they most likely did not feel or see the intensity of the quake here in Ching Rai, not Chiang Mai.

And so glad that some can tell alcoholic blood levels without a Blood Test or Breathalizer. :P

Hope you are safe and ok. Sleep well.
