Dr. Libby North , a neurologist from Portland , Oregon , was on vacation with her friend Ben Abels in Ko Phi Phi .

Dipak Jain , an adviser to Thaksin Shinawatra , Thailand ’s prime minister at the time, had arrived in Phuket the night before.

Chris Xaver , a marketing professor at China Europe International Business School in Shanghai , said it was “a divine blessing that not a drop of water touched the five of us”.

Xaver was in the restaurant with other bewildered hotel guests when another wave came.

The force of the water sent tables and chairs piercing into Xaver , leaving a big gash on her head and injuries to her left leg.

Xaver said her “whole body hurt for months ” after the tsunami.
