Bedall และ Rubin เป็นผู้ประสบภัยที่รอดมาจากเขาหลัก ได้เจอหนูน้อยสวีเดนที่พลัดหลงกับครอบครัวและนำมาส่งรพ. หลังจากนั้นได้อยู่ช่วยเป็นอาสาสมัครอยู่ที่ภูเก็ต
KING: Does that mean, Rebecca, that you're going to stay (in Thailand) indefinitely?
BEDALL: No, not indefinitely. We're really just taking it day by day at this point. But our plan right now is to stay at least a week or two and like Ron said go deliver small amounts of money directly to the people whose homes have been washed away.
RUBIN: Larry, we owe a lot, we owe everything to the people of Thailand. They have been so gracious to us. They gave us clothes. They gave us food and water. When we were in the hospital with Hannes (ph) the night we took him there, it was a war zone. You know, there was blood on the ground. I was walking around, and one of the Thai nurses came up to me and offered me her shoes. And we can tell you a thousand stories about how the people of Thailand have been so kind and so gracious to us. Not only us but to all the foreign tourists here. And we want to get the message out. In the days and weeks and months to come we want the people to come to Thailand and support these people that have, you know, lost their livelihood because they're some of the best people in the world and we just really want to say thank you to Thailand.
นี่ก็อีกคนครับ ที่ประทับใจคนไทย
KING: Glenn, I know you're a Rotarian, and I'm a lifetime honorary member of Rotary International. I think I'm speaking at the international convention. They're joining a lot in this relief effort, aren't they?
WATSON: I'm hoping that's going to be the case, Larry. I've had an awful lot of people wanted to give me money to give to them. But I want to make sure that they have a system in place to accept the money and then get it throughout the whole United States. And I've talked to some Rotarians in Bangkok. And hopefully if it does work out we can get significant amounts of money. And anybody that's been over there, he's right. The Thai people are just the greatest people in the world. They're just so gentle and so willing to help. And they need help now. They need our help really bad. And I hope -- I know the people in the United States are going to do it. I know now that the United States has responded with the helicopters and everything. So it's going to be OK because I've talked with them on e-mail today and they told me they already have electric power on the front road in Kamala Bay (ph), which is almost unbelievable.

KING: Aneesh Raman in Phuket, does it surprise you to learn that the Thai police are being so cooperative in this individual matter?
ANEESH RAMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Not at all, Larry. The Thai government has really tried to reach out to the foreign nationals involved in this disaster right from the beginning. They've set up separate hospitals just to treat them in Bangkok, separate tents to deal with them here in Phuket. They're very aware these people are dealing with what is an enormous tragedy in a foreign land. No one speaks the language. No one knows the lay of the land here in Phuket and elsewhere in southern Thailand. So the government has gone out of its way and we should mention the people themselves, the outpouring from the Thai people, volunteers coming from all over the country who speak foreign languages, who speak German, French, English coming to help those stranded here. A number of tourists who I have talked to who have seen death in this land, you would think would never want to return. But having seen the hospitability of the Thai people they want to come back. There's a real bond, a real connection that has now been formed.
KING: Dan, obviously you've been thrilled by the cooperation you're getting. What would you say to that gentleman who may have your boy, may have your grandson, if he were watching now?
WALKER: Well, all I can say to him is we'd be very grateful to have the boy back, naturally. And just to add to what your gentleman just told you, about the cooperation of the Thai people, they have been extraordinary. I have some experience with this being a member of the disaster medical assistance team for central Florida. Having dealt with three of the four hurricanes we had there. And I want to tell you, I don't believe that in Sweden or in America, we could have dealt with this tragedy as well as the Thais have done. They're highly organized. They're very, very helpful. You can go to any one of the many hospitals that's dealt with this activity and there will be somebody there to talk to you as long as you want to talk to them. They'll show you the patients. They'll show you their lists.
And the Thais are really extraordinary. The Swedish embassy here from the very beginning has been very -- all the way from ambassador on down, has been extremely helpful. And the Thai tourist police as I mentioned earlier have devoted the last five days exclusively to helping me look for Christian. They're just a marvelous people, the Thais.
KING: Oh, boy. Dan, are you surprised by what you've seen of the Thai people there? You say they would do a better job than Sweden would do or the citizens of Florida would do in this kind of thing. Does that surprise you, Dan?
WALKER: It's extraordinary. It really is. By nature, the Thai people are unique. In that they're extremely kind. As you look at a Thai man, woman or child and smile at them you get a smile back. And they're an exceptional, exceptional country. And furthermore, I think that their organization in the face of this really overwhelming disaster has been extraordinary. As I mentioned earlier, I'd like to think that we could do almost as well in America or Sweden. I'm not sure -- I know we couldn't do any better. And I think that they're really very commendable.
And I must also say that the police has been very helpful, are being very helpful. And that the Thai embassy and consul that they have here at the hotel is very well organized and very helpful all the way from the ambassador, all the way down. For example, we have an American girl here who is part Thai, who when she heard of the disaster, Susie Mack (ph), flew all the way from Arizona because she speaks both English, Thai, and Swedish, to come here to help. All on her own, at her own expense. That's typical of the type of assistance that has happened here.

KING: :-), as we've heard tonight, there also, the vast majority, wonderful people are they not, Matthew? According to Mr. Walker he finds them incredible.
CHANCE: Absolutely. They do have this underside but for the most part the Thai people you come across on a daily basis they're full of smiles. They'll go out of their way to help you and certainly that's been the attitude that the Thai government confronting this situation they're very understanding, very caring of the many thousands, tens of thousands of foreigners that come here every year to spent their vacations.
They want to make this experience, I mean if you can say this, as easy as possible to get through the bureaucracy as easy as possible, to try and do whatever they can to link the families that have been separated, link them back up again and they're doing everything they can to try and achieve that -- Larry.
