77 aftershocks from yesterday’s earthquake have been recorded so far
11 Sept 19:11Key points summarised by AI
A total of 77 aftershocks, ranging from 2.4 to 7.1 magnitude, have been recorded since yesterday's earthquake, though most were not felt in Thailand.
The original powerful tremor, measuring 8.2 magnitude (or 7.7 MMS), struck 10km deep under Mandalay, Myanmar, approximately 1,100 km from Bangkok.
Bangkok experienced strong vibrations because its soft soil amplified the shock waves, increasing their amplitude as they moved through the clay.
Separately, a 4.1 magnitude tremor was detected in Mae Hong Son province, Thailand, caused by movement of the Wiang Haeng fault, with no damage reported.
Application for ‘Nene Royal’ trademark withdrawn
Today 18:24Key points summarised by AI
A third-party application for "NENE" and "NENE ROYAL" trademarks was officially withdrawn, resolving a high-profile dispute over the Thai pop artist's name.
Black Lotus Global LLC, managing Nene Royal's rights, has legitimate trademark applications for various categories under fast-track processing, with final approval anticipated by February 2027.
The Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) monitors international trademark filings to protect Thai creators and advises early registration to prevent unauthorized third-party claims, noting a "NENE" trademark already registered in South Korea.
