Lying on the couch in Patong and the ceiling fans started shaking a bit. Also a minute or two later.

[LivinginKata]

Never noticed a thing here in patong ...

HAVING lived in Japan this is all to common to me. But as yet nothing on any official site. Dont go to the beach and tell people to get clear.

[JonnyF]

Felt it in Chalong. About 2 bursts 30 seconds each.

[phiber]

I was on a call with a friend of mine, he said the whole room was shaking. He's near the phuket airport.

BBC have said there has been a Tsunami warning issued

[backstairs]

Which begs the question; are we going to get a tsunami warning?

http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-asia-17675399

An earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 has struck under the sea off Indonesia's northern Aceh province.

The quake triggered a tsunami warning across the Indian Ocean region.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it was not yet known whether a tsunami had been generated, but said authorities should "take appropriate action".

The region is regularly hit by earthquakes. The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 killed 170,000 people in Aceh.
