If you are following the horrible tragedy in Asia…thousands dead…one place for some up to date information for
travelers is the
Lonely Planet Thorntree. There have been consistent posts about the deaths and the events in Thailand here. This is
as good a place as any to keep up to speed with what’s happening. On top of the deaths all over SE Asia and the
Maldives, there were many tourists in Phuket and throughout the area. I suspect we’ll be seeing more and more about
this event on tapes from amateur video cams as the days wear on.
