This information comes from the Phuket Forum from more than one source on there. I think it should be borne in mind if you are searching any of the Hospital Lists in Thailand.
There have,on several occasions, been misunderstandings between injured and hospital staff in all the chaos. On at least one occasion I know of names have ended up on the injured list just because relatives were asking for them in the hospitals. Bad knowledge of English in local hospital staff end up in people finding friends and familiy names on the list and therefore thinking they are ok since they are in the hospital. Please don't get your hopes up till it's double checked and avoid more grief...
"Please phone" has even been registered as an injured on the hospital list, a clear point proving the language barrier, when it is probably a desperate person wanting to phone relatives or embassy.

Another thing, 2 people from Finland appeared on the lists as swedes. So if you check lists by nationality/country then do also a name check using different ways the name could be written.
