  • If people in Chiang Rai want information about something that happened in Chiang Rai, guess where they look? I understand that there is national interest, and that they don't like duplicate threads,

    I really like this comment and find it imaginative and cleaver, even if a little less than accurate. You were right on target with the whole swanlike, elegant, refined and relaxed bit, but went offtr

    Do you get the feeling that this fault line is not very stable at the moment? Definitely keeps one awake and on their toes!

Yeah,something going on thats for sure and admit that I start to be worried...guess if we had the money we would take a vacation some where for a while.

More than 700 now in 8 days.

729 earthquakes,

many over 3,

too many over 4

several over 5,

and more solar flares sending additional pulses, causing the size to increase,

expect 5's and 6's worldwide in the coming days, if not hours

With over 700 aftershocks, that is averaging out to almost 4 aftershocks PER HOUR! The subduction is obviously still occurring and has not stabilized yet. Dogs must be going nuts up there as ours barks most times there is a bigger one that is felt down here.

I didn't know dogs in bkk needed an excuse to bark all day and night

Our dog dont care - earth quake,thunder and lightning - only way I can see he react is that he stay close to me and my wife when he feel we are scared.

Yesterday it was different and I do not know why..normally he runs out as soon as we open the door but yesterday right after the 5 quake he refuse and sat right next to me for the next hour or so.

he may be feeling and hearing rumbling, you are unable to hear or feel

I would never doubt my dog,

unless it was about who moved my shoes

We were on our way to CR Regional Hosp and decided to stop at Wat Ron Khu. At 11:00 this morning. Shortly after we got there... Shake Shake.

Coudln't see any (new) damge - we left shortly thereafer.

Noticed that 3 of them-1 at 1,9-1 at 2,7 and the one at 3,8 came whit in 19 min.

Just talked to some family in Mae Suai they say some of the roads there is damaged pretty much to...also saw damage at a road in Wieng Chai today.

I am travelling from Phayao to Chiang Rai on Thursday. Has there been any damage reported on this road? We pass through Phan.

Highway 1 through Phan has no (visable) damage - passed through there yesterday. Highway 118 just west of Mae Lao is being repaired - the only impact now is you have to slow down for about 400 meters.

Thanks for the update

Just saw the t.v. news and the building next to BigC is collapsed..was under construction to be a 6 store high building...it reached 3.

what town?

got an approx address to google earth it?

The only collapsing building reference I have seen so far was for a building in Surin but maybe something local will show up later. I hope it wasn't Chiang Rai area.

That is in Chiang Rai city the house went down-just next to BigC .- the big white building to your right hand at the map.

thank you for the post.

my girl friend has her entire family in chiang rai and mae sai and is very nervous

I am in south florida, watching the world shake, from seemingly relative safety

Little biddy aftershock this morning, May 14, about 5 am.

Many aftershocks, since the initial tremor. I'd guess about 20 that I felt. Unusual to have so many.

  • Popular Post

Bad guess as it is near 800 now...lol

sensitive machines can pick up hundreds of after-shocks, all along the 'ring of fire' and outlying regions, every day. I was referring to what I felt. I'm not as sensitive as a machine, are you?

About earth qukes...close to - and what I am talking about is not outside Thailand...not even out side Chiang Rai.

Since midnight there have been 14 whit the biggest at 4,4 in Phan - and 3 bigger than 3,0.

3,1

3,6

3,8

people there must be very anxious and woken from sleep repeatedy,

no mention in mainstream news

Felt 2 small ones last night - the one aboput 20 minutes after midnight slightly more substantial.

Somehow this minor one made N.A. news and I got phonecalls. They knew nothing of the big one on the 5th or anything since. News. Oh well.

Does anyone now if Chiang Rai is in a subduction zone? Never realized that earthquakes in those areas stay so centralized.

(From the web: Subduction zones are the junctions where two lithospheric plates join. Any movement towards or away from each plate results to faults which cause earthquakes.)
