Yangon - Two strong earthquakes struck northeastern Myanmar less than a minute apart on Thursday night. They could be felt as far away as Bangkok, but a tsunami was not generated.
The first 7.0-magnitude quake was just 10km deep, according to the US Geological Survey. It was followed by another of the same strength but far deeper: 230km.
The quakes struck along Myanmar's borders with Thailand and Laos, about 110km from the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai.
Buildings swayed in Bangkok, 800km south of the epicentre.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre says it was located too far inland to create a destructive wave

However the awareness amongst people living in the seismic regions is increasing and they are now aware that for a small additional cost they can get a much higher Earthquake Protection for their buildings than what is mandatory as per the seismic codes utahearthquakestoday.blogspot.com
