This is just scaremongering.
There are earthquakes there almost every day and would have to be considerably greater to cause a tsunami warning in Phuket.
The one on 26/12 was somewhere in the 8.6 region and a 7.2 is nowhere near as big.
It is no help to publish these warnings and thereby scaring away potential visitors to LOS.
Phuket now has in place, an adequate warning system,and I would wait until a current forum member posts with latest news before putting out a scare like you have just done.
