A strong earthquake shook northern Thailand and Myanmar on Monday evening, smashing windows, cracking walls and roads and damaging Buddhist temples. No casualties have been reported. According to AP, the airport in Chiang Rai, a northern Thai city near the epicenter of the 6.0-magnitude temblor, evacuated its terminal, where display signs and pieces of the ceiling fell. No one was hurt and there was no damage to the runway or flight disruptions, airport General Manager Damrong Klongakara said. The terminal and its roof were still being checked for further damage. A well-known temple in the city, Wat Rongkhun, was closed due to safety concerns after the earthquake.
