National Disaster Warning Centre (NDWC) Thursday warned people living near fault lines to get prepared for more quakes, as many faults in Asia have apparently become more active following the tsunami-causing, big earthquake in 2004.
"Take evacuation drills and ensure that your houses are safe enough," NDWC chairman Smith Dharmasaroja said.
He confirmed the Mae Chan fault in Thailand had moved more frequently since that 2004 earthquake in Sumatra.
The Mae Chan Fault was blamed for causing a rather powerful quake on the Burmese - Laos borderline on Wednesday. Measuring at 6.3 magnitude by the US Geological Survey, this quake sent tremors hundreds of kilometres down to Bangkok.
