Over the past 30 days, Thailand has recorded 2 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 1 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 1 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 2 shallow (<70 km). 1 of the epicenters were offshore. 1 event produced at least one felt report, totalling 61 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. All 2 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
Leading the list is a magnitude 5.2 event near 36 km SSE of Syriam, Burma (Myanmar) at 10.0 km depth, which drew 61 felt reports from the public and triggered a green PAGER alert. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 4.4 near 110 km SE of Pyapon, Burma (Myanmar), trails by 0.8 magnitude units — a meaningful gap that makes the leader clearly dominant in energy release.
