“I was just in Bangkok in the scariest ever earthquake and on the 52nd floor, so it was like and going side to side to side the building, like we were climbing from side to side on our tummies.
“It was so full on and we ran down the emergency stairs and got out. that will get your heart racing
“I ran out with no shoes so a lady let me have her shoes, what a legend
“Anyway, I hope everyone is ok, it was so hectic
“I think it was a 7.5 or something, I don’t know what that means but, I don’t want to be in that sucker again, phew.”
Monk said there were no alarms to warn of the earthquake or directions of what to do immediately after.
