‎Isabelle Willis, 26, from New Quay, Ceredigion, has been teaching English in Bangkok, Thailand, for six months and felt the tremor after the earthquake in Myanmar on Friday.

‎More than 1,700 people are thought to have been killed and 3,400 injured, following the powerful 7.7 magnitude quake.

‎”It started banging. I could hear terrifying noises. The building cracking, things falling,” said Ms Willis.
‎She said she ran out of the room, and as she looked at her wall, she could see a crack, adding: “I could see people running, sprinting down the stairwell.

‎”I was desperate to get out.

‎”I was like, ‘wow, this is how people die’. I thought ‘this is it’.”

‎But then she didn’t die
