PHANG NGA, THAILAND: A tourist plays chess at a luxury hotel in Phang nga province, 02 December 2006 Tourists are finally returning 18 December 2006 to Thailand’s Andaman coast two years after the devastating tsunami, but any attempts to commercialise the tragedy are being snubbed by holidaymakers. The “tsunami-survivor” T-shirts go unworn, and even the tasteful memorials are apparently being ignored by visitors who want to forget about the waves which claimed 5,400 lives in Thailand, roughly half of whom were tourists.
