This is actually REALLY sad... 4500 dead and counting.
Many places i know very well were completely devestated.
Stories of tourist snorkelers being dragged along the very sharp coral as the water rushed out of the bays before being slammed on to the beaches (and usually kiled or at least severly injured).
Stories of divers being thrown into the rocks at high speeds, killing them.
Stories of beach bungalows and their occupants literally disappearing into the ocean...
Koh phi phi in particular, with Phuket and Krabi provincial area also hit hard...
So sad...
Claeren.
