like so many others, I lost someone in Khao Lak. A deeply beloved friend of
mine died there that morning. At this point in time I had no idea where or what
Khao Lak was. I started searching for a good map, but never found one. I tried
to figure out where my friend had stayed, if anyone had met her and if she was
still alive. After some time I had to accept the fact that she had not survived. I
began to piece together, bit by bit, a picture of the place where she had spent
her last week. This map is my attempt to give something back to the people
who have helped me so much the past year.

DISCLAIMER Most of the data is collected by interviews and the positions are edited by hand from satellite pictures shot the days and weeks after the tsunami.
This means that there are structures and buildings in these pictures which
may have been totally eradicated by the waves and others which may just be
obscured by clouds. There will inevitably be many errors on the map because of
this. Please contact me if you find any such errors and I will update the maps
accordingly. This map is not intended to show land property of any kind. The
purpose of the map is to mark the possible locations of resorts and other points
of interest.

Many thanks to the authorities, companies and organizations who helped me
without hesitation: Fritidsresor, Rådet för stöd och samordning efter flodvågskatastrofen (RSOS), Pårørendekontoret, Norske politiet, National University of
Singapore and Helicam Asia. The heli photographer “Rising Phoenix”, whose
pictures gave me a great start identifying the various resorts and buildings.
Many kisses to my loving wife for her support!
