Thailand’s ITV Television said tourists staying at one five-star hotel on Phi Phi were forced onto the roof to escape the swirling waters. It said helicopters were ferrying food and water to survivors on Similan and Surin islands, off the coast of Phang Nga province.
Channel 11 (military owned) is showing a two year old farang baby who's parents cannot be located to try and locate someone who may be frantically searching. The people caring for him don't speak the child's language or know what language it is. Hopefully they will locate relatives soon.
