Waiting for the morning sun to rise, I settle in at a cafe on Khao San Road, the tourism Mecca of Bangkok and international transit lounge to thousands of western backpackers visiting Asia's golden triangle. Khao San Road is buzzing with the shrill sounds of techno music and drunken tourists choreograph themselves to a soundtrack for late night hedonism and party culture. There is little evidence that suggests a massive tsunami has recently devastated the country's Andaman coastline and certainly no sign of an earlier exodus by western tourists. In Bangkok and Thailand's damage -free tropical resort destinations it's business as usual. Only the fence outside the tourist police station at the end of the road suggests that recent tragedy has struck. The fence is lined with onlookers from dozens of countries. A mural of photographs and flyers indicate people who are still missing or have yet to be identified. There are contact numbers and rewards on many of them. A few dazed and sleepless people trace through long lists hoping to find loved ones. Others stuff money into an overflowing glass case for Red Cross support. Resulting from one of the most powerful earthquakes of the last forty years, this particular tsunami has quickly become one of the most infamous 'catastrophes in a century. The tsunami that recently A beach resort Thailand. struck this country's western shore on December 26, 2004, has managed to reap destruction in eleven other countries on two continents. Violent waters pounded some of the poorest parts of the world and destroyed primitive sewage systems, contaminated water supplies, and provided massive breeding grounds for insects that transmit malaria and dengue. They have also created a critical zone for high infant death rates from diarrhea across South East Asia. The death toll is rising daily and it is doubtful that an accurate number will ever be known. Some suspect that the total may exceed two hundred thousand in the coming weeks as clean-up crews and rescue workers struggle to find survivors. By 6 a.m. I've managed to track down my fixer.
