PHUKET: A remembrance ceremony to honour those lost to the tsunami that struck our shores 15 years ago, on Dec 26, 2004, was held at the Wall of Remembrance at the Mai Khao Cemetery this morning.

 

 

A gathering of a few dozen people turned out for the now usually quiet annual ceremony, with local officials, residents and students beginning the ceremonies with a minute’s silence at 8:30am.

 

Afterwards, Sarawut Srisakukam, Chief of the Mai Khao Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor), led the formal ceremony, during which he expressed his gratitude to those who turned up and offered his condolences to those who lost loved ones to the disaster.
