Mega quake centered on a major city in a developing economy state. Information is slow to come out because of the Junta no doubt but the death toll is likely to be far far larger then folks initially are reading.

So bizarre to see a lot more news coverage about places like Bangkok when the epicenter was on a large city in another country. But it's a reminder that information flows more slowly out of these closed societies

Bangkok has many tall buildings, so it was probably felt a lot more strongly here than other places closer to the epicenter. I was on the 32nd floor and saw and heard large cracks forming in the walls.. definitely a scary experience. They just let us back into the building, but not sure I'll stay here for a few days.
