LONDON — <\/span>An earthquake with a 7.7 magnitude has rocked Southeast Asia on Friday, according to the United States<\/a> Geological Survey.<\/p>\n

USGS is reporting the epicenter of the quake was in Mandalay, Myanmar, but reports are emerging of the quake being felt as far south as Bangkok in Thailand.<\/p>\n

“We were under the main Sukhumvit railway station and we thought a train had crashed on the initial tremor,” a British citizen who is in the Thai capital on a business trip and wished to remain anonymous told ABC News. “But then as it continued, people started to run outside and the hotels were evacuated to the streets.”<\/p>\n

Alarms reportedly went off in buildings across the Thai capital city when the earthquake hit around 1:30 p.m., according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n
