Tsunami’s afterglow in Khao Lak spurs revival and recollection
Bleck, a 20 year old Lisbon guitarist, returns to Khao Lak to teach English and guitar to survivors, while a tourism revival unfolds with 3,000 hotel rooms and new investment. The Dec 26 2004 tsunami left 230,000 dead across the region, with Aceh and Sri Lanka hardest hit. The area builds a tsunami cemetery near Ban Nam Khem as Sofitel Magic Lagoon undergoes partial restoration. Cases of trauma linger among residents and aid workers.
