Buri Ram Municipal Office Resumes Operations Following Vibration Incident
Staff at the Buri Ram Municipal Office have returned to work after a mysterious vibration incident prompted an emergency evacuation on September 2.
On September 2, 2026, employees at the Buri Ram Municipal Office in Nai Mueang sub-district were forced to evacuate after experiencing significant vibrations within the building. According to a report by Thai Post, the incident occurred during the afternoon, with the shaking sensation being most perceptible from the third floor upward.
The affected structure is a four-and-a-half-story concrete building located on Rom Buri Road, near the first ancient Lalom canal, which was originally constructed in 2011. Following the panic caused by the tremors, which staff described as resembling an earthquake, the building was cleared to ensure safety. As of September 3, municipal officials have returned to their regular duties at the office.
For residents and visitors in the area, this event highlights a localized structural concern. While operations have resumed, the specific cause of the vibrations remains unconfirmed. Authorities have not yet provided a definitive explanation regarding whether the shaking was seismic in nature or related to structural or environmental factors near the canal. Those planning to visit the municipal office or nearby areas should remain aware of any further official announcements regarding the building's structural integrity.
