Thailand Earthquake Update: Expats in Bangkok Report Safety as Aftershocks Subside, Life Returning to Normal

March 29, 2025 Yesterday (March 28, 2025), a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing tremors in parts of Thailand. As an expat living in Bangkok for eight years, I want to reassure everyone back home that things are normal in my area, and the overall impact has been minimal. Since the epicenter was in Myanmar, far from Thailand, the country mainly experienced aftershocks. In Bangkok, where skyscrapers are common, shaking varied by location, while suburban areas remained largely unaffected. 曼谷省長查察（Chadchart Sittipunt）在昨日的新聞中表示：曼谷目前倒塌３棟，都是還在建築中的建物；已完成的建物則符合建築法規，無倒塌回報.

At local factories, many Taiwanese colleagues barely noticed the tremors. However, since earthquakes are rare in Thailand, some Thai employees reacted with concern—some took cover under desks, while others moved outdoors as a precaution. In response, the Thai Prime Minister announced emergency measures, including work suspensions in select areas so residents could return home. Meanwhile, businesses in Bangkok’s suburbs, including car rentals and golf courses, remained unaffected. Popular golf courses like Riverdale and Panya Indra confirmed their normal operations via Line and Facebook, reflecting suburban stability.

On the logistics side, our partnered warehouses in Bangkok’s suburbs and their staff are safe. However, minor aftershock-related disruptions temporarily halted shipments on March 28. Logistics providers expect normal operations to resume by Monday, March 31, with no major supply chain disruptions anticipated.

整體而言，我們的生活圈來看，泰國當地情況穩定，泰國氣象部門表示餘震強度正逐漸減弱，民眾生活正逐步回歸正軌。雖然泰國人對地震反應較敏感，但政府官員呼籲無需過度擔憂，並已成立配套小組應對。
