My wife is Thai and although her immediate family do not come from Phuket, we both have many friends who live in that region on Patong Beach. One couple, who we have yet to contact own 2 retaurants , one on Patong Beach and another on Karon Beach - this is the time of year they make their money. Assuming and hoping that they are safe, I feel for their hardship in the coming year or two. Our other friends had a lucky escape. They were all going to the beach and had donned swimming costumes and got their bags ready and were just leaving the house. The party included a couple of very young children. The wave struck as they were leaving their house. Had it been just 15mins later they would have had time to make it to the beach and with young ones, who knows what would have happened. Thankfully they escaped without mishap. One other friend has had her small room/bedsit destroyed and it is now unliveable. Yet again, thankfully she was OK. My thoughts are with everyone else, Thai and tourist alike, who are less fortunate. Magician |

By Anon - web@weblough.com Mon 27/12/04 08:50:52 GMT The recent news about Tsunamis and the earthquake around the Indian Ocean is extremely disturbing, and I would like to wish anyone living in that area, especially Thailand, where i know there are people who use these forums, the best of luck. |
