A 7.7 magnitude earthquake rattled much of Southeast Asia on Friday, flattening skyscrapers and leaving more than 150 people dead from Myanmar to Thailand.

Startled residents were evacuated down staircases of high-rise condominiums and hotels in Bangkok. In Myanmar's Naypyitaw, the quake damaged religious shrines and some homes.

Thailand's capital is pretty big. Luckily for visitors, most of Bangkok's biggest attractions are conveniently concentrated east of the Chao Phraya River in the central area of the city.
