Totally different scenario. The tsunami devastated the coast, they carted off the bodies, cleared away the wreckage and built a whole new bunch of high/er end, low rise resorts with a 'tsunami warning system' to tempt people back.
Dozens if not hundreds of structurally compromised buildings, with gaping cracks in them, facing weeks of aftershocks is not a tempting scenario. Even I'm reconsidering my Bangkok travel plans.
Problem is I don't trust the authorities to be competent or efficient enough, or uninfluenced enough, or well enough staffed with the right training, to be making unbiased decisions about widespread building safety when they urgently want to tempt the punters back.
Bit of wait and see how they perform here.
