To Edward Hanrahan, Sydney, Australia who posted a message on your site, looking for Sean Sweetman and his girlfriend Lucy Coyle, staying at Princess Hotel on Phi Phi.

Might be worth contacting the FCO in that case.

Message to Colin Jones, Bangkok, Thailand and family re missing Charlotte last seen Koh Racha. Have you seen the recent report on this website by a guy staying there? He seems to be saying that everyone was ok despite the damage and mentions no casualties. We have just returned from the Racha prior to the tsunami and it is difficult/near impossible to get a signal by mobile. Plus the only way on and off the island is really by speedboat so communication will be difficult. Hope this helps and you find her safe and sound soon.
