Khao Lak

Khao Lak was hit hard by the tsunami in 2004. There are many ruined and abandoned resorts, restuarants and hotels along the seaside. These pictures are from the Bangniang region.

Many of the tiles are missing from the lower levels of the roof. Could that have been the height of the water from the tsunami sweeping the tiles away, or people helping themselves?

A house for sale on the coast of Biangniang. Is it wise to have a front garden full of coconut trees? I think it still makes for great scenery.

This boat, patrol boat 813 (Buretpadungkit), was stationed one nautical mile off the Andaman coast before the tsunami's devastation. The boat was swept two kilometers east inland.
