Yes. Thai TV is also reporting foreigners (Isreali's and Australians) amongst the pax. If the weather there was anything like it was in Bangkok at lunchtime today then it was very bad. Earliest reports mentioned a burst wheel on touchdown leading to the aircraft going off runway. There are alternate airports nearby (Trang and Surat Thani) but Iwould guess the weather was just as bad there too. Bad news.
