A couple of hours ago I was at home in Chiang Mai working away at my desk, when I felt my chair move backwards slightly. To be honest, I thought I’d spent too much time looking at the computer and was having a dizzy spell! It didn’t last long and I can’t say the whole room shook or there were pictures falling off the walls, but there was definitely something going on.

The earthquake of magnitude 6.1 rocked my second floor hotel room in Chiang Mai! The lights were shaking, my bed was shaking, I was lying down in bed at 3pm (that’s all I do these days, exhausted from the previous week of working).
Mum: “What was that?”
Me: “What was what?”
Mum: “That shaking!”
Me: “Oh, you felt that too? I thought everything was swaying because I took too much flu meds. That was probably, um, a… zzzz.”
