What Travelers Should Know About the Myanmar and Thailand Earthquake
Briefly

On March 28, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, primarily around the city of Mandalay, causing extensive damage and loss of life. Official reports indicate 144 fatalities and over 730 injuries across the region, with aftershocks felt in Thailand and China. In Bangkok, an under-construction skyscraper's collapse contributed to at least three deaths. The ongoing civil war complicates rescue and information efforts, as media in Myanmar is tightly controlled by the military junta. Travel advisories for the region have been issued to ensure safety during this emergency situation.
At least 144 people have been killed and more than 730 others were injured in Myanmar, with significant destruction across regions, including Bangkok.
I've seen videos and pictures of bridges collapsing, pagodas and temples destroyed... Getting information from there is very challenging. Getting aid in will be a huge challenge, too.
