Local photographer visits Thailand's
tsunami ground zero following disaster
By
Special to the Expositor
Jetlagged and exhausted
from a thirty-eight hour flight
I've finally arrived in
Bangkok, preparing to
photograph some of
Thailand's most tsunami -
devastated terrain.
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. He has
agreed to help navigate me
through Thailand and into
forensic identification centres,
