Post Tsunami

It was very unfortunate that we didn't get to see this beautiful island in all it's glory.

The tsunami well and truly changed our holiday, but at least we were safe, unlike many others.

These pictures were taken on the 20th January, so quite a lot of work had already taken place.

Sand, sand and more sand

Tonnes of beautiful white sand

Tonnes of sand were dumped onto the island. It is amazing how much sand can be carried by water!

A Beautiful Island

Taking a break from cleaning up

From this picture you can see how beautiful this island is and can imagine how beautiful it will be once restored.

...more sand that have been "relocated" far away from the beach by the wave... Not sure if I visited this island last time, but those remote islands are defiantely worth a visit.

Going to Thailand in October and looking for a place to relax. Racha Yai sounds good & I hope most things have been restored now

Very sobering photos that give us a small reminder, but still show the natural beauty of this place. Gr8 words & pics complement each other Tina.
