UPDATE 3/29/2006: NEW SERIES CAN BE FOUND
HERE.
Zoriah has uploaded a gripping series of comparison shots dealing with the
tsunami that hit
Thialand in 2004. I have posted it in its entirety below. Also, here is a link to a
photographic book on the devestation produced by
VII. To see some other great series, follow this
link, or this
one. Go
here for a list of more books by great conflict photographers.
This backgrounder is provided by the photographer: As an ex disaster specialist I still have many friends working in the field all over the world and in the year following the Asian Tsunami I kept in close contact with them. Just as I expected I soon began to hear stories of how western money coupled with the tourism industry was rebuilding Thailand in record speed while Sri Lanka was still struggling and Banda Aceh was left only with resources for making baby steps. Slightly ahead of the one year anniversary of the Tsunami I decided to return to Thailand and shoot every image taken the year before from the exact same angle. Although I covered the Tsunami from both Thailand and Sri Lanka I was not able to get the funding necessary to return to Sri Lanka to re-capture those images one year later. I think that this is interesting in itself, as I literally had a long list of clients and agencies waiting for the Thailand project. However, a few weeks later
John Stanmeyer from VII was able to return to Banda Aceh and shoot a project very similar to mine and it is viewable on the
VII website. I find the two projects an interesting visual study in how two countries with very different economic structures recover from a major natural disaster.
[Editor's note: Zoriah is currently searching for funding or grants to return to Pakistan and Kashmir at the end of this year to complete an Earthquake Then and Now project. Please contact Zoriah through his website if you are interested or have information.]

Its a shocking thing to be able to see, but the photos are amazing. I'm so glad I got my laser eye surgery so that I can see them properly.
But as somehere here said, you can never expect this to happen. It should make you live your life to the fullest every day.
good
If that is a true question and not a joke, then the answer is: there is no way of knowing whether or not it will happen again and certainly no way to tell when.

I think it's great to view the images and see how things have been rebuilt. It's also encouraging to read other supportive comment postings. The question that springs to mind for me, though, is: "What's actually changed?".

Amazing Imagery
Amazing work, you captured the destruction tasteful ( if that is truly possible) and the rebirth of Thailand, trying to normalize their lives again.
bravo.
What actually changes?

From the imagery it appears not very much - it looks very much like business as usual...
Great stuff!
Rephotography is always enlightening. This series is exceptionally powerful. Wonderful work.

The Thai do a far better job of recovering from natural disasters than the Americans

Stunning. Absolutely stunning images. Thank you for sharing them.
WOW
Wow, those pictures are incredible. My wife and I would have arrived on Christmas morning the day of the tsunami, if not for last minute changes in plans. We went to Ireland instead. When we landed we couldn't believe the news. The friends we were going to meet there were safe, though. I still can't wait to go to Thailand, I hear nothing but good things about the country and the people. -Tommy
Impressive
Even if there is still a lot to do in order to reconstruct the country, this photoset is really great and encouraging!
Impressive
very impressive. sorry for the dead people :(
Awesome recovery
Awesome recovery which is worth applauding. Hats off to Thai guys.

Tsunami in Thailand
I would like to known Tsunami will happen in Thailand again because next month I will go to Punket in Thailand for holiday so anyone can recommend me ,please about that
hi next year in july i will
hi next year in july i will be visiting south pattaya in thailand. i was wondering did the tsunami reach as far as south pattaya? and also is july the rainy season and will these type of weather conditions bring on a tsunami? thanks
Phuket is back to normal
Nice job on matching the photo angels and significance of the image (ie. the empty hospital bed). It's important for galleries like this to exist so that people know Phuket has fully recovered and is well and ready for the tourists.
Pattaya
I've just returned fromm Pattaya. I like to live there. Pattaya and Jentem Beach were spared. Thailand is going to be really cool now that the coup is over, Taksan was a very bad man and is wanted for crimes aginst humanity.
