In an intriguing turn of events, the serene landscapes of Thailand and its neighboring countries experienced the subtle rumblings of Mother Nature today. Picture this: As the world slumbered, a series of gentle tremors rippled through the region, the most potent of which registered at a 4.9 magnitude. This seismic spectacle took place near the Myanmar-India border, where the ground decided to have a little dance party of its own at 3:24 am Thai time on May 28, 2025.

Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul couldn’t be more enthusiastic about these suggestions, branding them as “constructive” and snugly aligned with the government’s current policies.

The Interior Ministry is rolling up its sleeves, ready to cooperate even more robustly with police, military, and civil authorities to crank up these efforts. Thaksin passionately voiced…
