From BangkokPost:
Quake strikes Burma, shakes Bangkok buildings
An earthquake of 6.7magnitude on the Richter scale jolted the northeastern region of Burma, about 56 kilometres from Chiang Rai's Mae Sai district, the Meteorological Department reported on Thursday.
The epicenter of the earthquake was located 20.87 degrees latitude and 99.91 degrees longitude.
The department said people living in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Nan provinces also felt the quake.
People living in buildings in Bangkok's Asoke, Sathorn and Sukhumvit districts posted on Twitter that they felt the buildings sway.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says it was located too far inland to generate a destructive wave.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Friday 25 March 2011 :-
Quakes batter Thailand's North
===================
Two powerful earthquakes hit northern Burma last night, sending shock waves that shook buildings in many parts of Thailand and caused panic among high-rise residents in Bangkok.
A 55-year-old woman, Hong Khamping, was killed when a concrete wall collapsed on her in Chiang Rai province, where the tremors were strongest.
A 7-magnitude quake at 8.55pm was followed by a 5-magnitude quake at 9.23pm, according to Thailand's Meteorological Department.
The quakes were 10.2 kilometres underground on a small fault line on the Burmese-Lao border, according to the Mineral Resources Department.
Somchai Baimuang, deputy director-general of the Meteorological Department, said people in the North and West of Thailand, as well as those in Bangkok, could feel the tremors, especially those living in high-rise buildings.
In Bangkok, about 50 residents of Ratchathewi Tower ran downstairs to gather in front of the building, while a condo's residents on Rama 3 Road reported that the building shook so hard that doors slammed.
Mr Somchai said people in affected areas should follow reports from the Meteorological Department and be prepared for an emergency.
He said the earthquakes in Burma were a consequence of the Japanese quake causing movement of the tectonic plate in Burma.
In Chiang Mai, locals felt a quake for about 10 seconds. Several people ran out of their houses. The quakes were also felt in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Phayao, Nan, Tak and Loei provinces.

Suthat Sriwilai, director of Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital in Muang district, said a strong tremor could be felt at the hospital, but there was no damage. "We decided not to evacuate patients but are on standby for any emergency situation," Dr Suthat said.
Some buildings were cracked in the International Institute of Labour Skills Development in Chiang Saen district, according to witnesses.
In Mae Hong Son, the quakes caused an electricity blackout throughout the province. Officials at Mae Hong Son Hospital fled in panic.
In Wiang Haeng district of Chiang Mai, a woman said she felt her bed roll from side to side. She ran out of her single-storey house in panic and stooped to the ground as the tremor was so strong. "The ground shook for about three minutes," the woman said. Her house is about 12km from the border with Burma.
In Phayao, a tremor was felt for about 10 seconds over wide areas in Phu Sang, Muang and Chiang Kham districts. Many residents were seen standing in open fields in darkness. Some said they scurried out of homes when the ceiling lamps began to swing. No structural damage was reported.
Chaiwat Chanthimak, owner of Phu Aksorn publishing house in Loei's Chiang Kham district, said he thought his house was rolling. He said patients of the district hospital across the street gathered in the parking lot. The tremor lasted for about a minute.
Mr Chaiwat said he saw the hospital staff move inpatients out of the ward.
Weerachai Saisakaew, assistant director of maintenance of the dams operated by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, said the quakes did not affect major dams such as Srinakarind in Kanchanaburi province, Bhumibol (Tak) and Sirikit (Uttaradit).
Most major dams were located far away from the epicentre, he said.
National Disaster Warning Centre director Somsak Khaosuwan said the agency had closely monitored the possible impact on Srinakarind dam and would issue a warning to people living near the dam to evacuate if necessary.

Report from The Nation dated Friday 25 March 2011 :-
Tremors felt in North, Bangkok - One killed as Thailand experiences shocks of magnitude-7 quake that hit Burma
===================================
Chiang Mai and some parts of Bangkok experienced tremors last night following a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck eastern Burma.
The epicentre of the quake, in the hills of Burma bordering Thailand and Laos, was 89km from Thailand's northern province of Chiang Rai, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
One death was reported in Chiang Rai but there were no reports of other casualties or property damage, both in Thailand and elsewhere.
Mobile-phone service was interrupted briefly in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, possibly due to the quake.
The victim was identified as Hong Khamping, 55, a resident in Mae Sai district. He was killed when a wall fell over him.
The quakes began at 8.25pm. The USGS later revised the quake magnitude to 6.8, with the epicentre closer to Chiang Rai, from 111km to 89km, or 772km from Bangkok.
The USGS did not issue any tsunami warning as seismologists said the quake was too far inland to generate a devastating wave in the Indian Ocean, Agence France-Presse reported.
Nation Television reported an aftershock of unknown scale in Chiang Rai, but this has not been confirmed by the USGS or other reliable sources.
Many residents living in high-rise buildings in Bangkok experienced the tremors, with some saying that objects in their residences swayed. The Bangkok areas where the tremors were experienced were Sathon, Ratchaprarob, Rama IV, Bang Na, Sukhumvit and Silom, according to tweets by Sor Wor Phor 91 traffic radio. Another tweet, by a Channel 3 journalist, said people were leaving the Maleenond Building, the channel's headquarters on Rama IV Road.
Hospital personnel and patients in Lampang and Mae Sot districts of Tak province evacuated, and rescue workers and ambulances in Chiang Mai have been put on standby.
Similar accounts also came from Chiang Mai with two residents saying their houses swayed under the impact of the tremors. Some people who shared their personal accounts on social-media websites said they thought they were fainting when the tremors began.
A large number of tourists in Chiang Mai left their hotels and tall buildings, partly in panic, to stay outside. Many of them have not gone back to their rooms at press time.
The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand said none of the hydropower dams in Thailand have been affected by the quakes.
