Phuket still on holiday radar

Australians are refusing to cancel holidays to Thailand's tsunami-devastated southern beach resort island of Phuket because they want to do what they can to help the locals struggling to cope with the loss of thousands of lives.

Thai Airways International spokeswoman Sue Marr said many Australians were "hell-bent" on getting to Phuket.
