Thailand’s Meteorological Department has firmly rejected rumours circulating online about a purported 6.5-magnitude earthquake striking the country, clarifying that no such seismic event has occurred and that a recent tremor in Malaysia poses no threat to Thailand.

Officials stated that social media posts claiming a major quake within Thai territory are inaccurate and not supported by seismic monitoring data.

The department emphasised that its nationwide network of sensors recorded no earthquake of that magnitude in Thailand.

The clarification follows reports of seismic activity detected in parts of Malaysia, which prompted speculation and misinformation about potential cross-border effects.

Authorities explained that the Malaysian tremor was localised and of insufficient intensity to cause impact or structural risk in Thailand.

Seismologists noted that while minor tremors are not uncommon in Southeast Asia due to regional tectonic dynamics, Thailand is not situated directly on a major active fault line capable of generating large-scale earthquakes comparable to those seen in more seismically active zones.

The department urged the public to rely on official channels for updates and to refrain from sharing unverified information.

It reiterated that real-time earthquake data and alerts are published through its authorised platforms.

Emergency response agencies confirmed that there have been no reports of damage, injuries or unusual seismic readings linked to the Malaysian event.

Officials described the situation as stable and under routine monitoring.

By swiftly addressing the rumours, Thai authorities sought to prevent unnecessary alarm and to reinforce confidence in the country’s disaster monitoring systems.
