Thailand was also damaged by a strong earthquake in Myanmar on the 28th of last month, with a 33-story building collapsing in Bangkok.
Some analysts say that Bangkok, where high-rise buildings are concentrated, has been affected by earthquakes more than other areas where low-rise buildings are mainly located. The city of Bangkok said at least 18 people were killed in the earthquake on the 30th of last month, and 78 people remained missing. On the 31st, there was a large-scale evacuation disturbance due to reports of misconceptions caused by aftershocks fears.

Korean residents also exchanged information on social media amid anxiety.
As of March 31, no Koreans were killed by the earthquake, and a person who dramatically survived a bridge connecting a collapsing high-rise building has been identified as a Korean, making headlines in Thailand.
According to Thai media and sources, including Thai TV, a high-rise condo located in downtown Bangkok's Tongle shook greatly shortly after the strong earthquake on the afternoon of the 28th of last month, and the bridge connecting the buildings collapsed. Videos of the time spread rapidly through SNS and broadcasting.
In particular, a man crossing a bridge between 52 floors survived dramatically, and the main character was found to be Korean Kwon Young-joon (38). Kwon sprinted over the crumbling bridge and jumped over the crack while returning home through a connecting bridge after working out. This image was captured in a video filmed at the time and was known through SNS and Thai broadcasts, and Kwon, who did not lose his courage even in the crisis, became an icon of hope by being called 'Korean brother'. A news anchor of Thai TV called Kwon 'national husband' who spared no effort for his family.

In an interview with the influencer 'Harry', Kwon said, `As soon as I tried to cross the bridge, I saw the floor soaring right in front of me, but I had no choice but to go to a family with a wife and a daughter, and ran with all my might."
