After Tsunami (1 year)

Thailand culture...

I visited the little island of Koh Libong for about one week. It wasn't long after the tsunami, in March this year (2005). Time is doing more than flying - it's on hypodrive. Before we know it, it'll be 2020. These images are from March.

Koh Libong is about 1 hour or so from Trang. Another nice little Islam fishing community - picking itself up after the tsunami damage. The wave came in and tossed around the fishing boats. The men, unable to fish, unable to earn their income, now spending time fixing the longtail boats.

Some people started making crafts (bangles and small boats etc) out of coconut to sell throughout Thailand. There is a lot of coconut they could be shaping into popular crafts.

Very entrepreneurial...




These images are of some of the children I met there. And a baby or two.

Hanging out under the house. Refreshing. Cool.





Blissful. Happy. In the moment, children.





I'll let you know shortly how this island community is doing now, one year after the 26 Dec, 2004 tsunami.



Peacefully...
