Bangkok: A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar on Friday, with tremors felt south into Thailand and residents in the capital Bangkok running into the streets as buildings shook.
"I heard it and I was sleeping in the house, I ran as far as I could in my pyjamas out of the building," Duangjai, a resident of popular tourist city Chiang Mai, told AFP after tremors were felt across northern and central Thailand.
