I'm not too much worried about the Bars and their personel: pure deduction, not because I am heartless. I allready phoned some girlfriends and they are OK. I also visits the Gonzo bar when in Phuket, but:
-Which bars are open at the time of the tsunami in the morning (between 8 and 10)?
-Where are the staff and BG's at that moment? If the BG is not with a customer in his room (or very seldom on the beach, you get black) they are in their room or around there.
-Not so many of the Thai people stay in rooms close to the beach, it is too expensive: they stay mostly on 3rd road, live there, eat there and yekyek there.
So I expect most of them (if not all) will be safe.
I think the Thais working in shops, hotels, restaurants and other businesses open at that time and situated close to the Beach Road are harder hit.
