This is the terrifying moment tourists fled from a rooftop pool in Thailand as it shook during an earthquake.

The pair of holidaymakers were floating on an inflatable lilo in the luxury hotel in Bangkok when tremors from the Myanmar earthquake rattled the city.

CCTV captured them being flung around by the force of the quake as the water sloshed like a wave pool, spilling over the edge of the building.

All of them were unhurt.

The US Geological Survey said the tremor struck at a depth of 10 kilometres (six miles), and was centred in Myanmar, around 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Monywa.

Residents ran from their homes when they felt the tremors at around 1:20 pm local time.

In neighbouring Myanmar, at least 1,600 people were killed and more than 4,000 injured.

The quake destroyed buildings, bridges, and dams, leaving many areas in ruins. Communication remains difficult as mobile networks are down, and access to electricity and the internet is limited.
