A blond 2-year-old boy, a foreigner, was found by other tourists sitting along on a road after the tidal waves ravaged a resort in southern Thailand. He was recovering Monday night in a hospital — alone. His parents are missing.

The child, his nationality not known, was discovered in the road not far from the town of Khao Lak in Phang-nga province, where the surging waves swept away hundreds of tourists.

the boy had been given oxygen for the first 24 hours. The child was lying in a hospital bed Monday, wearing a red- and yellow-checked shirt and hooked up to a saline drip on his left hand.

The boy babbled, but hospital staffers couldn't figure out what language he was using.

"He could be Swedish because he was enthusiastic when a man spoke Swedish to him

He's been identified already...

theres a article in the Phuket Gazette about him...

PHUKET: A young boy rescued by a couple and taken to Phuket International Hospital has been identified as a 20-month old Swedish boy.

Family members in Finland saw the photograph of young Hannes Bergstrom on the Phuket Gazette website and contacted the boy's uncle, Tim Karkkinen, in Pattaya within an hour of the story going online.

Mr Karkkinen told the Gazette that although the father, Marko Bergstrom, and the boy's grandfather are in Phang Nga Hospital, no trace has as yet been found of the boy's mother and grandmother.

The family were staying in Khao Lak.

Arrangements are being made to reunite the family.

Swedish Toddler Reunited with Grandma After Tsunami

PHUKET, Thailand (Reuters) - A Swedish toddler who was feared orphaned after giant waves struck southern Thailand was reunited with some of his relatives on Tuesday.

Hannes Bergstrom, 14 months old, was found wrapped in blankets on a hill by an American couple on Sunday, hours after a Thai villager had rescued the boy from a tsunami that killed more than 1,500 people in Thailand.

"We thought his whole family was washed out to sea. We had no idea," American Ron Rubin told Reuters as Hannes played in a Phuket hospital room with his grandmother and uncle.

The toddler's father, Darko, and grandfather survived the waves that swept into their resort. But the mother was missing.

Rubin and his girlfriend, Rebecca Beddall, had found the boy in Khao Lak, north of Phuket where the wall of water shattered a 10 kilometer (6 mile) strip of luxury seafront hotels, shops and restaurants.

The couple brought Hannes down the hill after they felt it was safe and took him to Khao Lak's hospital. Doctors put his picture on the Internet where a relative identified him.

"Just to see his grandma in there, you know, I cried," Rubin said.
