A month after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake severely impacted Bangkok, residents remain anxious about high-rise living. As rescue efforts continue, the focus is on finding survivors, but hopes diminish. The earthquake caused significant panic and resulted in a temporary evacuation of the cityâs high-rise buildings. Although life is returning to normal for most, the emotional and structural impacts linger, particularly for families affected by the 73 still missing from the collapsed audit office building. The recent trauma has rekindled fear in the populous city of over 11 million inhabitants.
The earthquake that rocked Bangkok was particularly shallow, just 10km deep, intensifying the shock waves on the earth's surface.
We are trying our best for the people. Hopefully, they are still alive, said Methinee, a plan and policy analyst in the DDPM.
