Hi, Firstly, congratulations and thank you for this magnificent site, it's great to be able to see the fast progress Patong is making in rebuilding. I visited Patong with friends in October last year and absolutely fell in love with it. We will definately be back and are not going to let this disaster keep us away. We spent a lot of time at the Black Rose Bar (Soi Eric) and P One bar (Bangla Road). I've kept in contact with people from the Black Rose Bar and have been told that everyone from there is ok. However, I can't get a hold of staff from the P One bar. Would it be possible to take a few photos of either of these bars and their staff so that me and my friends can be assured that they are all ok? Thankyou and keep up the good work!

Having visited Patong Beach 4 times since 2000, we were devastated to hear about the tsunami and the destruction it has caused to your lovely island. We have always stayed at the Patong Merlin and are especially worried about the hairdresser and her small daughter. We are also concerned about Tommy the tailor at Kento. Congratulations on your site, and our thoughts are with the Thai people as they try to rebuild their lives. We will be back in 2006, having already booked an alternate holiday this year.

Hi, we have family over in Phuket and we are very happy to hear that they are ok although some family friends are still missing. We are flying over on the 27th of this month (jan05) for 3 weeks. From what I can gather the news go on and on about BAD new which we all know and feel very deeply about. But you never see anything good which is what the island need otherwise they are going to loose tourists and lots of many that they rely on. I was just hoping that you could get some photos of nice restaurants that are still in business. Cheap bars night life I see is still strong. Thanks in advance and for everything you have done so far.

THANKS

I want to first send my deepest condolences to the wonderful people and beautiful island of phuket. It's very sad to see the devastation the Tsunami has caused. I also want to thank you for taking daily photographs of the recovery phases. I luckily missed the Tsunami in Phuket by two weeks. However, I made friends with some of the girls at a few of the bars as I was there alone. I tried to reach them via email and phone but to this point my attempts have proven unsuccessful. I saw some pictures from the general area and it looks like a lot of progress has been made, but I'm not sure how this affected the people who were working in the area. If by chance you go by "You Bar", I have a friend named Lek who works there and was curious about her safety. It's a small bar located on the main street where the "Welcome to Patong" signs are. I also have several friends who works at "Hot Rock Bar" in the Tiger Entertainment complex, their names are Nan and La. If you pass by the area please ask if they're okay. I would like to contact them or they can contact me in the U.S. at 001-917-509-5048. Thanks for your help and
keep up the good coverage with the photos!! I'll be visiting again! Darrin

My daughter and I were on your beautiful island in October 04. That was my second visit and like myself my daughter has fallen in love with your island and your people and we are deeply saddened by this tragedy - but we are returning in April 05. We stayed at the Seaview Patong Hotel which I believe was severely damaged. Is it possible for your to take a photo of what we consider "our hotel" as I visit your web site daily for an update and have not seen any photos of the Seaview or the bridge.

Thank you for the wonderful photos documenting your recovery from this tragic tsunami. You are doing a great job. My husband worked on a building a new plastics plant near Rayong in the mid-90's. While we were in Thailand, we had the opportunity to stay at the Phuket Cabana for a brief vacation. We hope all of those we met are safe. God bless all of your people as they rebuild and mourn the loss of life both at the same time.

My husband and I would like to find out about the status of Bangtao Beach Cottage - we've honeymooned there about 3 years ago but we could never forget the wonderful staff and facility we enjoyed there, and we're very concerned about their safety. We'd also like to make any donation to help them re-build - so we can one day re-visit their beautiful beach and resort.(we've also already made donation to the Red Cross to help everyone affected). We'd sincerely appreciate any information you could offer us about our favorite resort and their wonderful staff.

Thank you,

By seeing the photos we have got a better picture of what has happened and it has given us the feeling to be near our relatives in Kamala. Our thoughts are with all the people hit by this disaster and specially the nice and pleasant people of Thailand.

Thank you so much for putting up these pictures. It gives me a better idea of how the situation has improved over at Phuket. In fact I was at Patong only 3 days before the tsunami hit Phuket.

I will still go ahead with my plan to return in May as a form of support and that I simply fell in love with Phuket. My deepest sympathy goes to all those who lost their loved ones and those who lost their lives. Only time can heal the wounds of those left behind.

I was very sad and shocked by the desaster the hit Asia this Christmas, not only because I'm a real fan of Thailand and especially Phuket and Phi Phi Island. I hope the lovely people I met there - expats as well as Thais - are still alive and are looking forward to a brighter future without forgetting all the poor people that got killed and injured.
Allthough some people tell me not to, I will spend my holyday in February in Phuket to have a great time (as allways) and to support the local business people with my Euros where they need it.

First of all my thoughts are with your people and hope that this tradgedy will be overcome. My wife and I have been visiting your beautiful country on several occasions especially Phuket. This event will not deter us from coming back and in fact we are currently booked to arrive in Phuket on or about the 20th of July this year. For us this event was also hard to take as my wife's cousin John Everingham (ArtAsia pty ltd) lives and works in Phuket and Bankok. We were the lucky ones as he and his family are all safe and well.
May God look after you and give us all the guidence to show us the best way that we can help you.

Thank you for your photos of the "Clean Up" We wish we could be there to help. Every one is doing a wonderful job.
We are all wondering about the people who work along the beach in Patong. In particular a Tuk Tuk Driver who we gave an Aussie name "Dougie" He drives a blue Tuk Tuk with a rather loud stereo system. From memory it has yellow trim. Dougie used to park oposite the beach around where the bus leaves from. He was very kind to us while we were in Phuket and we are concerned for his safety and needs.
Dougie also had the name Michael Schumaker written on his Tuk Tuk. We would really appreciate it if we could get any information on him and the other people who lived and worked in Patong. We pray for them and hope that all the people of Phuket have the strength and courage to go on. No doubt these wonderful people will continue to fight for a good life.
Kind Regards

I am doing at program at my local Rotary Club in aweek about the beach and THe Thai culture. Our local club just donated a $1000.00 to the Rotart of India for relief. I have before pictures from my trip but can find no pictures after the wave. I stand in complete awe of people so willing to pick up the pieces after this terrible disaster. I also wondered if any of the elephants from Fanta Sea were being used for work efforts. Thank You for your time I look at your photos daily they should give inspiration to us all.

Hello--
I live in NYC and feel deeply saddened by what has happened in your region. My boyfriend and both volunteered after 9-11 and it helped us both recover from despair. This tragedy is far worse than any world event in my adult lifetime and I feel that I'd love to help in the recovery. I am looking for groups leaving NYC who are in need of able-bodied volunteers to aid during these times. If you know of any such organization, can you please forward the information to me? Or perhaps your organization has a team looking.
Please let me know.

However, we are very concerned about all our thai friends, and hope to find them alive. We wonder if all the beach works had survived, but we don't believe that...
