It said initially the earthquake could not be detected as it was mild of just 2.9 magnitude, and it’s measurement equipment could not detect it. But after assessing information from other relevant government agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and the Royal Irrigation Department, all concluded the incident at Tambon Bang Nam Jerd of Lang Suan district on Thursday evening was a real earthquake.
