Thailand to wait for Indonesia whether to issue tsunami warning

Thailand will wait to see whether Indonesia would issue tsunami warning before deciding whether to issue the warning.

Indonesia’s Sumatra island was hit by powerful 7.9-Ritcher-scale quake on Wednesday, destroying large buildings and starting fires in Padang city.

Thai director of geological and environmental division, Apichart Surinkham said that in case tsunami happens following the quake, it will arrive six Thai coastal provinces within three hours with just 20-cm-height waves.
