Dec 26th 2004 - Phuket. A beautiful sunny Sunday
morning, just like any morning, waves after waves of Tsunami hit beaches
along the West Coast of Thailand and most of the countries in the Indian
Ocean rim. The Tsunami waves followed after a 9.0

scale earthquake, with its epicenter off
North-Western Sumatra. The affected areas were some well known
beaches on Phuket island, Pee Pee islands in Krabi province, and the most
severely hit in Khao Lak and Takuapa areas on Phang Nga province, Ranong,
Trang and Satun provinces sustained lesser damages. Geneza Pharmaceuticals Buy GP Turan from RxHeads.com
