Does anyone know for sure what happened to the hotel and staff of the Ruam Thep Inn, located at the south end of Karon ? I've stayed there and become friends with the family that owns it for the last 10 years, just returned from a month long vacation on December 2nd and I'm really worried about them. I've called but the phone just rings and rings, very unusual.... I emailed Marina Cottage (just up the hill from Ruam Thep Inn) and they replied back that Ruam Thep Inn and Karon Beach Resort were "damaged" by the waves. I fear they were destroyed and I'd pay good money to get current news and pictures of Ruam Thep Inn....... My heart goes out to everyone effected by this disaster....... Jesse in Valdez, Alaska
