BANGKOK (Reuters) - High buildings shook in the Thai capital Bangkok on Monday after reports of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Sichuan in China.

The tremors were also felt in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and high buildings in Bangkok were continuing to sway seven minutes after the first movements were felt.
