Joseph Çiprut, an X user, shared his experience, writing, "Just experienced a 7.7-strength #earthquake in #Bangkok for close to 3 minutes. Its epicenter was Mandalay, Myanmar, over 1,200 km from here. Despite the distance, it swayed buildings, caused cracks, forced evacuations, and rooftop pools cascaded much water down below. Scary!"
