CHIANG MAI, Oct 19 (TNA) – Authorities early Saturday inspected damages resulted from a magnitude 4.1 earthquake in Chiang Mai with the epicentre in Doi Saket district.
Residents of several districts in the province and in Chiang Rai’s Wiang Pa Pao district on Friday night felt the tremor
Initial surveys by the officials found that several important sites in Chiang Mai including more than 800-year-old Wat PhraThat Doi Saket temple and the Mae Kuang Dam remain intact following the quake.
