Moderate
earthquake in Myanmar felt in northern Thai provinces

CHIANG MAI, June 23 (TNA) - A 5.4 magnitude earthquake, centered
in Myanmar was felt in Thailand's northern provinces of Chiang
Mai and Chiang Rai on Saturday afternoon.

The tremor, measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale, rocked an
undisclosed location in Myanmar at 3.17 pm, some 356 kilometres from
Chiang Mai's seismic measurement station, according to the
meteorological department.

A few aftershocks followed the quake but there have been no
reports of damage or casualties.

Many minor earthquakes have recently rattled Thailand's northern
provinces and neighbouring countries.

An earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale shook the
northern province of Chiang Mai on June 19. The quake was centred in
Chiang Mai's Mae Rim district, lying on the Maetha active fault
line.

An earlier earthquake of 4.2-magnitude earthquake rattled the
Myanmar border and Thailand's Mae Hong Son province on June 18.

On May 16, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1, rocked mainland
Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle region, from its epicentre in Laos,
sending tremblors across Thailand's northern provinces.

Another earthquake, measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale, shook
Chiang Mai's Mae Rim district on December 19 last year. (TNA)
