Tidal Wave in Southern Thailand 27-Dec-2004 At 3:03:29 PM White Rabbit

Message

Hey Guys!

Crazy huh? who would have thought a tidal wave would hit ton sai?

I haven't heard about any climbers getting really hurt.
Jow and Hahn I hope you made it to Krabi ok?

Don't know how much you know but the Ton Sai beach front was pretty trashed, Railey is far worse though there a long tails in resturants, up trees and in the pools. No one really knows when Ton Sai will be back to 'normal' but it'll be a very long time.

I'm stuck here though, even if I do get a boat out of Ton Sai. Every pom in Thailand is going to try to get a flight out of here, so I'm stuck in Thailand untill my flight to London on the 19th of Jan. It could be worse, a friend of mine lost his bag when the wave hit so any form of ID, his passport, his camera, rope and wallet are all gone and he's over stayed his visa.

Right now though no one is in the climbing mood most of us are just helping the locals and cleaning up the beach.

So rich am I going to see you and Jackers down here?
