Third and last destination of our trip was
the island of Phi Phi, also among the worst
hit region in Thailand. The devastation
there was absolutely unbelievable. The
process of rebuilding this tropical paradise
will take years and hundreds of families
will be without jobs and income for a long
time. Most of the local survivors had to be
brought to other regions, to live there, as
there is no more infrastructure left in Phi
Phi. |
