Buildings in Bangkok, Thailand, and Hanoi, Vietnam, also swayed noticeably during the quake.

Videos circulating online show dramatic scenes, including frames swinging violently in buildings across Bangkok.

Tourists in Chiang Mai were seen rushing outdoors to safety, while footage from Bangkok showed a hotel’s rooftop swimming pool overflowing, creating an unintended waterfall.

Authorities are currently monitoring the situation closely for further updates.
