Aftermath in Phuket

[OceanEleven]

After the Tsunami waves attack in Phuket, I wonder how many bros survived a narrow escape. May it be going to go there or just left before it took place? I think the place will take at least one to two years to recover and return to prime. Seems like we’re gonna have one less place to cheong. Any bros have any comments?

catastrophe man. Acts of god. I was palnning to go tioman, now I skip. Wah lan, 2004 also not good year. Terrorist acts bombing, now on christmas, tsunamis. I really better pray for world peace.

Any effect in HDY?

Ya man...

I was planning a trip to Banyan Tree with my girlfriend.. Now i think have to re-think... Suddenly Sentosa seems good...

My heart goes out to the affected people, both locals and tourists... Saw on CNN those bodies being washed up... Damn sad...

I think the Thais r more resilient...should bounce back within 6 mths. My guess is that more affected will be the family type tourist traffic i.e. this is more elastic to security/safety/comfort stds. They have other choices too..esp the Europeans/Japs/Koreans. Cheongsters are hardcore n will not be as bothered..

Errr... Bro, Sentosa seems to be in the frontline if any tsunamis waves are to strike, if touch wood you were there when these waves strike, you might just find yourself in Mandai in double quick time.

At 4pm today, 27/12/2004, the death toll is abt 15k and definately rise further. Prayers to those who are affected and may them rest in peace. Disease is bound to strike in a few days time, Especially chorela and typhoid and so on.


Usually, here are some tips for staying in earth quake zone.

1. When there is a earthquake, DONT RUN OUT OF THE HOUSE. Hide under the table or something solid. Chances are you will not be hit by falling objects.
Move out when the shaking have stop.

2. Always keep emergency supplies like batteries and torch lights.

3. After a quake, check for gas leaks and be on the alert for flash floods. Underground water may come out. Or pipes may be broken. You never know. Be on the alert for fire as well.

4. Make sure your family is accounted for. Do not go into the house if the house is in bad shape. After shocks may still occur and the house may collapse.

5. Turn on the radio if you have. Govenment will issue warnings or advice. Be on the the alert for any warnings. Or turn on the TV if there is still power.


I hope these are tips for those brothers when they are traveling overseas.

These are some tips and others can suggest or add in more from their experience as well.

Nature forces are not to be meedled with and must be respected.


Good day
