The owner of two resorts on Phi Phi island - where the Hollywood blockbuster The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was filmed - said that 200 of his bungalows were swept out to sea, along with some of his employees and customers. "I am afraid that there will be a high figure of foreigners missing in the sea, and also my staff," said Chan Marongtaechar, who was in the Thai capital of Bangkok at the time. Officials said more than 600 tourists and locals were being evacuated by air and sea from the island.
