 The
goal of
his website is to documentate the impact of the tsunami on
December 26th, 2004,
in the Indian Ocean, which also hit the islands and the mainland of
Thailand's Krabi province. My documentation focuses on the mainland of
Krabi and some small nearby island. All photos
were taken between January 16th and 31st, 2005. Photos and reports of
other areas in Krabi province, in particular Ko Lanta island, can be
found at www.yourkrabi.com.
For information about Ko Phi Phi check www.hiphiphi.com. For other
information check the "Useful Links" section of this website.
I can state that all places I visited guarantee a peaceful holiday in
paradise. Sadly, the affected regions don't see many visitors these
days, even though they depend heavily on tourism. Many businesses are
in trouble, ordinary people getting laid off due to lack of customers.
It is our duty not to turn our back on this region now. Everyone there
is trying hard to ensure we spend the time of our life there, which
should be rewarded by us. Donating is a good idea for those affected in
Khao Lak (Thailand), India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, but for places
like Phuket or Krabi, the best we can do is to keep on travelling. This
way we avoid taking the foundation of their lives away from the local
people. |
