The quake struck at 1727 GMT on Thursday, or just before midnight Myanmar time, about 230 km (140 miles) northwest of Mandalay, the Hong Kong Observatory said earlier.
A spokesman for Thailand's Meteorological Dept. said the tremors hit 162 km south of Imphal on the Myanmar-India border.
"No damage or casualties have been reported so far," the spokesman told Reuters.
The former Burma's thinly populated northeastern and northwestern regions are quake-prone.
