My nephew Piers Simon is missing. His brother and friends have survived the tsunami in Koh Phi Phi, but Piers was washed away whilst saving his brother's girlfriend. His brother Luke is now in Phuket organising a search for Piers. We think it may be possible that he was in a hospital in Krabi. A name has appeared on the casualty list that could be interpreted as Piers Simon, he was the same age and was English. However this man has been discharged and we think he could be in shock and unable to contact us. He was last seen wearing blue O'Neill board shorts and a red t-shirt. If anyone has seen him please contact me.
