“I visited Phuket, Thailand”
in the 2004 event , only certain sections of Phuket were affected , the open ocean sides . Inland sides hardly at all , a few meters up the hills not at all . Lower islands with built up low lying saddles got swept through and devastated the worst . The locals are still seeing the ghosts .
Maybe the PI will be like that in places now too .

Yes, Phuket is a big area...barely an island, as a bridge connects it to the mainland on the north.
The heavy damage was at the seaside resorts along the Indian ocean coast lines.
Tsunamis have little impact on anything other then seashore towns/cities.
