Tsunami some pictures of Phuket

This gallery is not intending to hide the reality of Phuket drama, but to reflect the effort done by locals and volunteers to rebuilt the city and keep hope and faith in the future. Pictures are taken daily, showing some progress but not hiding the places still to be cleaned and the huge work still to be done...
Most big trash has now been removed, the Beachfront street lights are back (but not all the electricity actually), the water is partly back (Beachfront shops of course, the rest of Patong always had water and electricity)... Traffic has been reopened. Few tourists are back on the beach and it gives us hope. The second road of Patong Beach is packed with traffic and people. Hundred of people have join the cleaning effort, all construction companies have been reassigned to the cleaning. Every single shop is doing its own cleaning and all together the amount of work already done is amazing!
If you want to help Phuket and people living here, come back for holidays!
