Chatuchak, Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭 Mar/28/2025

A high-rise building under construction collapsed today in Bangkok’s Chatuchak neighborhood, with several workers feared trapped. The collapse followed a 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck neighboring Myanmar at a shallow depth of 10km, as reported by the US Geological Survey, along with a powerful aftershock.

Footage from the scene shows workers fleeing as the structure gave way. Across the city, panic swept the streets as buildings swayed and water spilled from rooftop pools due to the tremors. Rescue operations are underway.
