I was on the 24th floor of the Grand Hotel in Bangkok. I woke up after a night of drinking with friends and the room was swaying in the morning. I thought I was still drunk as I never heard of earthquakes happening in BKK. But then I could hear the curtains rubbnig against the window sills so I knew it wasn't me. My first time being in that hotel, I thought it was faulty construction... Later on that afternoon I got all the news...

An earthquake was also felt by guests in the tower part of the hotel I was staying at in Chiang Mai at about 08:30 hrs-I think there were 2 earhquakes, a smaller one which was triggered by the Tsunami earthquake and had its epicentre in Burma.
One guest swore it threw him out of bed on the 15th? floor-but he too had had a late and very boozy night!

I felt nothing as I was en-route to the country side in a van at the time.
