PHUKET: Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup has confirmed that the annual tsunami memorial service will be held tomorrow (Dec 26) at Loma Park in Patong at 5.30pm.





“This year, Patong will host the 13th tsunami memorial service like every year at 5:30pm at Loma Park, Patong Beach, Kathu,” said Mayor Chalermluck.

“But this year we will not focus on sadness. We will focus on encouraging those who have lost loved ones in the tragedy to continue to fight hard and get through their remorse and sadness,” she said.

“It will also include information on how to escape a tsunami in Phuket accurately and promptly in the case that the incident occurs again, to minimize losses that may occur as much as possible,” she added.

“We have prepared over 1,000 white candles for the participants,” she said.

This compilation is created for 13th Anniversary Earthquake and Tsunami in southeastern Asia country Thailand, specifically in resorts Koh Lanta and Koh Phi phi, which belonged to the most damaging. Tsunami struck in 26. December (boxing day) 2004.

Koh Lanta was very far from being one of the worst affected sites of the tsunami, if that's what you mean when you say it 'belonged to the most damaging'.

He did get the part right about Thailand being a southeast Asian country though.

Bet they won't be showing a compilation of the fuckwits who decided not to give a tsunami warning as it would have a negative effect on tourism. Had that warning been given the death toll would have been near zero.
