Very very sad, my wife & I first stayed on Phi Phi 10 years ago and it really was a beautiful place. We just hate to see it like this.

I just hope in several years time that the scars of the Tsanami will be thing of the past but I could never forget the devastation this place has suffered & the loss of life.

We will go back but things (In our hearts) could never be the same........ how could they?????.

Rgds, Dave

Phi Phi is still a paradise island but it will not look the same in the future, thought. Somebody said the government may manage the island in the future.

Maybe Phi Phi will be better with some regulation for the future, the natural beauty is still there.

Yes Nicke, maybe some regulations will make Phi Phi better for security about Tsunami, and other places too in Asia... but i think a tsunami will not happen there before hunderds years. Now all the world is still shocked and authorities want to take regulations to avoid the same disater (I speak about lost lives) but beaches will remain beaches, all over the world, crowded of people... if not now, in a couple of years sure.

I have heard that a pan of one of the Canary's island could fall down to the sea "one day" ... maybe in 1000 years, nobody can say, and it could create the biggest tsunami of the history, reach New York and destroy this city ... is it a reason to evacuate New York now? No for sure.
The nature will always decide where and when it will hit, human people can maybe prevent a few minutes or maybe a few hours before. Just wonder how many people it could save and how many would die if it was a false alert.
2 days ago, a false tsunami alert made undred injuried people and one dead in Chili because panic.

So what can I say? I am happy not to be there when it happened, and feel so sad for the victims, really. I lost friends too in this disaster, so I don't want to be positive or negative, but nowit is time to live again, not to forget sure, but to think about present and future, without fear about what could happen with 1/1000.000.000 chance before one secular.

I just hope no one will take my words wrong, i have a lot of respect for Asian and farangs victms and their family, but we can't be afraid t go back there now, as it can happen everywhere.

I agree 100% with Domi - we need to be back there now.
