I just returned from 5 days at Patong, Phuket. Everything is operating normally except the shops and hotels withing 50M of the beach. But who need a MacDonalds and Starbucks anyway. These photo are an accuare represtation of the state of things. http://www.phuket-photos.com/

The second wave of probles is economic. 90% of the people depend on tourism for income and tourism is down 90%.

Go to Phuket, spend you money. That is direct aid.
