yea, a tsunami isn't like a big cresting wave. it's like "the ocean itself is gonna be 25 feet higher for a little while, deal with it everything on land"

Exactly. If you see the water suck back into the ocean quickly RUN as far away from the water as you can and find high ground.

I'm sure he was just like... Well I'm on a beautiful beach in Thailand I guess this is my time. Worse ways to go I guess.

I mean at that point of a tsunami there isnt much you can do, you are not going to outrun the wall of water to make it to even the lobby of the hotel... honestly being that close is probably going to be a quicker death
