- The
Tsunami
Thailand
mostly hit Phuket, Khao Lak, some beach area on
the islands around Phuket and Phi Phi plus north of Khao
Lak.
This was such a immense disaster
and costs thousands of life's that Thai people try to get
rid of it by avoiding any talk about it and getting rid of
any books in any bookstore where the word is visible. This
is a typical local way to try to get rid of a disaster by
not talking about it. I asked several book chains in
Thailand why they don't have any books on Thailand and
Tsunami, almost with all of them it finally came out that
there is a certain code of silence, means don't talk about
it, it might disappear then automatically. Of course it wont
but superstitious believes never fade away. The pictures
here and other Thailand pictures show what kind of natural
disaster happen in southern Thailand, this pictures tell
more than words.

On Phuket island Patong beach was hit worst
but at Khao Lak beach it was even much worst because several
big hotels with thousands of people have been built just
behind the beach and the monster wave hit when they tourists
just took breakfast. Several Khao Lak hotels were destroyed
and this Asian flood crashed into the land for about 100m
where the hills of Khao Lak start, see more at the pics,
this disaster pictures tell
more as anyone can tell or write since it is usually beyond
imagination. We didn't include most photos of victims it simply is not good to show this, its
unbelievable, the body are blown up from inside and the skin
looks like burnt. This disaster was such an awful incident its
difficult to put into words.
After the
catastrophe, the struggle
between the local people in Phuket, Phang Nga, Takuapa and
Ranong province and so called
"influential" people who tried immediately after the
disaster to claim the coastal land belongs to them in the
hope that the real owner died in the disaster and their
predecessors cant show evidence to own this land since there
are no deeds of lands in that area. This is going purely in
the tradition, we stayed there, we own it. But this is
possible to get rid of it by paying bribes at the right
places. It is really unbelievable how the dark side of human
surface after such disasters.

The Tsunami Khao Lak
washed away many resort near the beach were washed away by this
tidal wave and the aftermath looked real grim.
Since the disaster happen, every year are anniversary to commemorate the damage, the death toll and the
still missing from the disaster. In our
website you can find hundreds of photos of victims and survivors
plus some recovery and
relief. It is difficult to
get reasonable statistics since even
until today
at 2011 thousands of Tsunami
victims are not identifies,
some are still kept in freezer containers north of Phuket airport. |

But
there is one real positive message, the local and international aid
was overwhelming and the damages were all repaired within a year, this was a Hercules task
considering the huge damages done. |

Tsunami Thailand at Patong
- Overcoming the disaster
The tidal wave was, by
far, the worst event to have hit Thailand in
the last 200 years. While mourning the loss of
lives and other damage and devastation, the Thai
government was one of the first to fully pledge and
make concerted efforts with government associations
and the private sector for a rapid recovery for the
tourism market.
Phuket
is one of Thailand's world renowned top tourist
destinations and the place worst hit was Patong. At Khao Lak
it was even worst, in
particular the victim
count. The area around
Khao
Lak, had been directly hit by the
waves, and within the first three months, was ready
to welcome back visitors. Fear and superstition did
dampen the arrival of tourists to the provinces
affected by the Tsunami Thailand, for Thais and
Asians, but by the end of the year, international
arrivals started to pick up and Thais and other returned for the
commemoration ceremony to be held on the first
anniversary of the event. |

How a vacation
of intoxicating blend of sight, sound and
scenes turned into disaster via the flood or -
every
paradise has its snakes.
This kind of “snake” was an over dimensioned anaconda.
After an exhaustive day, I was sleeping soundly,
lost somewhere between the moon and Phuket. Sometimes after
dawn my sleep was interrupted because I felt the bed moving
a bit, what was wrong, maybe to much wining and dining last
night ? While trying to get my head clear I also noticed the
water in the bottle on the night desk swapping back and
forward. Since I experienced quite a similar situation many
years ago in a hotel in Istanbul, Turkey I was quite sure to
experience an earthquake, but since the whole was over
within seconds I just turned and
kept on sleeping. |
Tsunami Thailand
Victim at Khao Lak |
Some time later this morning a sound woke me up,
like strong guts of wind and storm raging outside
maybe a typhoon, tornado or what ?
The sound grew stronger and stronger, abruptly and
immediately water seeped into the room, increasing its
volume lightning fast until it engulfed the whole area. It
was so fierce and forceful I couldn’t open the doors or
windows, I was caught inside a hell of water. |

The dirty brown water quickly filled up the room,
only a small space near the ceiling was left so I got some
air – sounds like Indiana Jones in real time-. Am I going to
be buried in the water grave, were this my last moments? Now a big bang,
the door and windows broke open and the water disappeared
leaving only some wet dirt behind, it looked like the big wave moved on and
the pressure from outside disappeared. Thank good or whoever, I was saved at last, I took a deep
breath and tried to get body and soul together. I rushed out of the
house just to stumble back, rack and ruin, the disaster and
devastation was somehow unthinkable.
Dead bodies with partly blue
color were around, two guys came sliding down the palm- tree another
one had embraced a palm tree and came through. Most of the people
were gone, washed away to somewhere by the Tsunami. |
