It's getting worse, we just saw news about Khoalak park (where he was) and it's bad.  Something like 1000 bodies so far where he is.

Still no word.

More than likely all the phones are out.  If your brother knew how to swim, he had a better than average chance of surviving.

Chairboy i wish your family and your brother in law all the best, but if he was at Khoalak he will have needed all the luck going.
Reports say it was the worst hit area of thailand.

Yeah, I just heard a report from someone who was there in person who said that resort was hit really hard, few survivors.

Someone in my family found out that the hotel records have been wiped out, so we can't 100% confirm he was there.  We're really hoping he left early and was elsewhere.

From what I’ve heard, its utter chaos there.  Communications are down.  He may be so busy helping out however he can and hasn’t even had a chance to think about calling in.

My point is that even though 60K+ have died, the vast majority survived.  So don’t worry yourself sick and hope for the best.  

I hope all turns out well for him.

Fair enough, we really hope that's the case.  One of my sisters is getting ready to fly out there to check the notebooks for photo identification of bodies.  If anyone finds out that the photos will become available online, please let me know.

That little boy looks like the one I saw in the newspaper about a 2 year old boy they found sitting in a street but his parents are missing.  According to the newspaper (San Diego Union Tribune) the boy is fine with some minor cuts and scapes but the fate of his parents aren't known nor did they know his nationality.

I have several students that have families in the bullseys... down there, it's been impossible to get through.

Prayers and thoughts, chairboy....

I've been looking for resources online, but I'm running into a brick wall.  There's just not a lot of info out there yet.

Regards,

Chairboy

My prayers are with you for you Chairboy..May GOD Bless you CHAIRBOY

hope he shows up safe and sound.
