Frantic supermarket staff fled as an earthquake in Myanmar shook the store in northern Thailand.

CCTV footage shows the terrified workers running outside the building in a panic when they felt the tremor rattle the building in Mae Sai district in Chiang Rai province on November 17.

The tremor was centred near Keng Tung province in neighbouring Myanmar's Shan state and struck at a depth of nine kilometres at 8:37 am local time, according to the Earthquake Surveillance Division of the Thai Meteorological Department.

Locals in northern Thai provinces, including Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Nan, and Bangkok, reported feeling the quake, which shook homes, knocked down bottles from grocery store shelves, and triggered school evacuations.

There have been no reports of severe damage so far. Authorities said they were surveying potential damage caused by the earthquake.

Chiang Rai Governor Puttipong Sirimat ordered local authorities to survey damage in each area in order to gather information for helping victims who were affected.
