Tourist Ernst Mollemans, on the last day of his vacation and taking a boat trip from one island to another south of Phuket, narrowly escaped death or serious injury when he heard the driver scream and abruptly turn the boat toward a small beach to their left.
"We wondered why he was doing that, so we turned around and saw this wave, about three meters," Mollemans said.
"When the boat hit the beach, we jumped out and ran up the beach. We were lucky it went up hill, it was rather steep. And we turned around and we saw the boat crushed."
Mollemans said his party waited six hours for a boat to bring them back, and they have spent their time since trying to help.
"There are people who are just doing their normal lives because they weren't affected, and then there are people who are devastated," he said.
"There are people in a restaurant, eating their meals, and then there are people walking by crying."
"The strangest thing to me was when we were coming back on the boat, there was a really beautiful sunset."
This seems to be a problem in the little coastal townships but I think Bangkok will be ok.
