I usually stay at the Expat hotel which is at the end of Bangala, on the other side of Rat-u-thit, that should be safe.

I imagine that the Irish pub across from the beach got it pretty bad.

Man, based on the quake location, Phuket should have been shielded somewhat from the tsunami by the main part of Sumatra.....wonder if NEIC got the location of the main shock a bit too far South.....

All that area is flooded now. Near Rockhard is flooded - that road that intersects with Bangla road.

That whole area is more than 200 meters from the beach.
