A strong earthquake has rocked southeast Asia, bringing down a skyscraper under construction in Bangkok and toppling buildings in neighbouring Myanmar's second-largest city.
At least one person was killed and dozens of workers were rescued from under the rubble of the skyscraper, Thailand's National Institute of Emergency Medicine said.
Witnesses in Bangkok said people ran out onto the streets in panic, many of them hotel guests in bathrobes and swimming costumes as water cascaded down from an elevated pool at a luxury hotel.
