The Tsunami – Ten Years On
December 26th, 2014 — 1:31am
On December 26, 2004, at the peak of Thailand’s tourist season, Phuket and the western coast of Thailand felt the full and devastating force of a tsunami.
Today is a day of remembrance in Thailand, marking the tenth anniversary of the disaster. A multi-faith ceremony will be held at Tor 813 Memorial site at Bang Niang, Khao Lak.
The paintings of local school children on the wall of the Tsunami Victims Cemetery serve as a powerful reminder of the tragedy.
