Tsunami Caught On Camera
The amateur video shows the huge wave hitting Patong Beach.
In the video, the big wave is seen quickly approaching the beach, seemingly out of nowhere.
People can first be heard gasping, then screaming, as the tidal wave moves quickly over the beachhead, by buildings and into town.
The tidal waves were triggered by the world's biggest earthquake in 40 years.
The Thai navy is still scouring the islands in the Andaman Sea today for survivors of this weekend's deadly tsunamis, which slammed into the country's tourist areas such as Phuket Island.
Several hundred tourists have been rescued from Thai islands in the sea, but nearly 800 bodies have been retrieved from stricken areas.
Disaster officials say its not yet known how many foreigners were among the dead although a Thai health ministry official has estimated as many as 80 percent of the dead could be foreign tourists.
Phuket Island is a popular tourist spot after being made famous by the Leonardo DiCaprio film, "The Beach."
Already its estimated about 130 people died on the island including an American.
Across Asia the death toll from the weekend earthquake and tsunamis is nearing 24,000.
