PHUKET: HRH Prince Andrew of Britain toured Phuket today to thank Thai people and the local British community for their assistance to UK citizens in the aftermath of the December 26 tsunami.

He made three public appearances. The first was this morning at the Bangkok Phuket Hospital where he met staff who assisted tsunami victims.

In the afternoon he went to Nai Yang Beach to inspect boats donated by the Royal Thames Yacht Club and then to the Thai Tsunami Victim Identification (TTVI) center in Mai Khao, where he met Disaster Victim Identification teams for a briefing on their work and laid a wreath at the Wall of Remembrance.
