New Year’s Resolution

At this time of the year I usually pledge to curse less, drink less, watch what I eat, workout more, etc. This year is a little different. With so many thousands of people missing or dead in Asia and the South Pacific, I have resolved to always appreciate my family and friends and show them my love and gratefulness for their support. Lonely Planet has set up a Thorntree board for parties looking for missing persons. Here are a few of the entries: I need help translating Praviet "Kay" Boonwassana into Thai I am searching for my friend. His name is Praviet ("Kay") Boonwassana and he last lived on Phi Phi Island. He used to spend a lot of time near the pier and I am getting more and more worried every day. I need help translating his name into Thai alphabet. The list of Thai victims and injured people are all in Thai. Does anyone know of any lists of Thai names that are printed in English? He is approx. 30 years old, 5'7" tall, dark skin, black hair, brown eyes. If anyone has any info on his whereabouts I would greatly appreciate it. my email is kbrady852@hotmail.com Trevor Joseph from South Africa - Missing?
