More than 15 earthquakes were recorded between midnight and late morning in the northern region of Thailand and along the Myanmar border. The Thai Meteorological Department’s Earthquake Observation Division confirmed that the tremors were primarily centered in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, and areas within Myanmar. The most significant quake reached a magnitude of 3.3, striking Myanmar in the early morning hours. Several other tremors exceeded 2.5 in magnitude, including a 3.0-magnitude quake and a 2.7-magnitude event, both near the Myanmar border.

Minor Earthquakes Detected in Northern Thailand

Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son Experience Low-Magnitude Tremors

In addition to the cross-border seismic activity, minor earthquakes were detected within Thailand itself. Chiang Mai’s Samoeng district experienced a 1.9-magnitude quake, while Mae Hong Son’s Pai district saw tremors ranging from 1.6 to 2.3 in magnitude. These smaller quakes contributed to the heightened seismic awareness in the region.

Authorities Urge Vigilance as Earthquake Frequency Rises

Despite the frequency of these earthquakes, there have been no initial reports of damage or public impact. However, authorities remain vigilant, closely monitoring the situation due to the cluster of quakes in a short period. This pattern may indicate movement along fault lines, prompting officials to advise residents, especially those near fault zones, to stay updated with official announcements.
