Tsunami hotet inte över än enligt experter
"If it really triggers other quakes, especially around Barren Island, tsunami waves would reach six provinces in southern Thailand after only half an hour," Prof Thanawat said.
He said his warning was from the lesson learned from the 2011 great earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
On March 9 last year, Japan was struck by a 7.3 magnitude earthquake that triggered a small tsunami.
Two days after that, a second powerful, magnitude 9.0, earthquake hit Japan, leading to a massive tsunami which caused a huge loss of life and immense property damage. It was totally unexpected.
"So, the situation is unpredictable and we should keep a close watch for earthquakes and possible tsunamis for at least two days. I do not want to alarm people, but they should keep abreast of the news.
