Well its one year on & khao lak is well on the road to recovery,.A new road has been built through the centre of town and many of the bungalow resorts have or are in the process of reopening. The meridian Khao lak is open as is the Sarojin resort,Sunset resort, la Flora resort as well as many more & the Mukdara will be opening soon. Baan Niang Beach has a lot of construction going on with resorts & bungalows being built. Tourists are coming back & now that the memorial events of the 26th December are over the air of doom & gloom has lifted and there is a more positive air about the place. This place will come back stronger & better than before & it is still the stepping stone to the similan islands, some of the best diving in the world ( & still is despite what the amateur divers at CBS might say!!).
We all have many stories to tell about that horrific day and they will always be in our memories but again it was the Thai peoples response and how they coped and helped others with no regards to themselves whilst all had been lost in the worst natural disaster in living memory that will be one of the endearing memories of this tragedy.....that & well.........:-(
What the local people of khao lak need now is not charity or volunteers but tourists & divers to once again come back to this wonderful place and spend their $$$ so they can once again feed their children and carry their heads high. The Thai people are a proud race and no one likes to be on the receiving end of handouts when they can earn a living. Come & pay a visit you won't be dissapointed
