At least 10 people have died in Bangkok , its deputy governor says.

The 7.7 -magnitude quake struck hundreds of miles away in Myanmar , but was strong enough to send shock waves through the city.

The ground zero of the devastation in the Thai capital is an under-construction 30 -story skyscraper next to the sprawling Chatuchak weekend market popular with tourists.

The collapsed structure was being built by a subsidiary of the China Railway No. 10 Engineering Group , a now-deleted social media post.

The quake struck near Myanmar ’s second most populous city, Mandalay , home to historic temple complexes and palaces.

The epicenter was recorded in Sagaing region, which borders Mandalay .

Min Aung Hlaing the leader of Myanmar 's military government issued an “open invitation to any organizations and nations willing to come and help the people in need within our country”.
