<B> Thailand. Wave survivor clings to hotel pillar. </B> Up to his chest in raging water, Boree Carlsson clung desperately to a pillar in a hotel lobby as a giant tsunami wave pounded Thailand?s Phuket island yesterday. ?I just couldn?t believe what was happening before my eyes,? said Carlsson, a 45-year-old Swede who had rushed into a hotel as the waves rolled into Patong Beach. The giant wave flooded the hotel lobby in a matter of seconds. Carlsson had to wrap himself around a pillar to avoid being swept away. ?As I was standing there, a car actually floated into the lobby and overturned because the current was so strong,? he said. A witness said huge waves ?flattened? Phi-Phi island,featured in the film ?The Beach.?
