Water spilled from a pool as an earthquake rattled buildings in Thailand.

Footage shows the pool sloshing around sending water cascading over the edge of the high-rise building in the capital Bangkok, on March 28.

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 2,000 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.
