Karon Beach - The Day After the Tsunami

Karon Lake

Here is a picture of a car being pulled from the lake.

Karon Shops

So much sand!
Sand, sand and more sand

Karon Beach

The sheer volume of sand washed onto the streets really amazed me. It was incredible. Patong was not affected like this!

Karon

A sports field covered in plastic chairs and other debris including a television set.

Such an unrealistic scene.
Can you see the television set?
Drinks fridge

Karon Beach

Incredibly, many drinks are still upright in the fridge shelf!

More damage
Sawasdee Kha

Karon Beauty

...And finally something beautiful to finish off with after all the damage.

As I had walked by, this beautiful little girl wei'd at me. I asked her to do it again so I could take a picture and asked the bigger girl to join in. It was so heartwarming and wonderful to see such beautiful, resilient, magnificent people as they sat just 40 metres from the pictures above without complaint, only friendship and respect.

The Buddhist Thai people are the most wonderful people I've ever met.

 Tina I have just looked at these photographs with my husband and we still can't believe that it did happen. It was so tragic.I'm glad rebuilding has progressed so well. Helen

 Surrealistic... watching the news + the storries to the ones returning to Norway... Luckily the charter planes here filled up when they were allowed to retur. The locals need normal life incl tourists keep on visit them.
