Social media users are marvelling at a video taken by a relative of a patient at Ratchaphruek Hospital in Khon Kaen showing staff evacuating more than a hundred patients from the building as it rattled with earthquake tremors on Thursday morning (November 21).

The epicentre of the 6.4-magnitude earthquake 10 kilometres underground in Laos was just 31km from Chaloem Prakiat district in Nan province and its effects could be felt as far away as Bangkok.
