Six sinkholes have appeared in a small village in Mae Hong Son province, northern Thailand, after the major earthquake devastated much of Myanmar on March 28.
The sinkholes – found in Ban Mae Surin village in Khun Yuam district – have diameters ranging from 2m to 30m.
Authorities stated that they are concentrated in a north-south direction along the active Mae Hong Son fault.
The soil in the sinkholes consists of clay mixed with sand, making the accumulated water inside appear murky.
The mouths of the sinkholes are conical, indicating that layers of soil have collapsed vertically into voids below.
These sinkholes were formed due to seismic vibrations from the 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar on March 28, which killed nearly 4,000 people and caused a series of buildings to collapse in Myanmar.
The earthquake caused tremors as far away as Hanoi, Vietnam.
In the capital city of Bangkok, Thailand, a skyscraper under construction collapsed, resulting in the deaths of dozens of workers.
Authorities have advised residents living near the sinkholes to erect fences and warning signs around them.
